3.6. About Camel type converters

Camel provides a built-in type-converter system that automatically converts between well-known types. This system allows Camel components to easily work together without having type mismatches. And from the Camel user’s perspective, type conversions are built into the API in many places without being invasive. For example, you used it in listing 3.1:

String custom = exchange.getIn().getBody(String.class);
