Interface DataFormatResolver

public interface DataFormatResolver
SPI strategy for resolving a DataFormat implementation by name.

The default implementation first checks the Camel Registry for a bean registered under the data format name, then falls back to classpath service files under META-INF/services/org/apache/camel/dataformat/. Each call to createDataFormat(String, org.apache.camel.CamelContext) returns a fresh, non-shared instance because data formats carry per-invocation state. Custom resolvers can alias format names, wrap the resolved instance with decorators, or source formats from a non-classpath registry.

See Data Format in the Camel user manual.
