cast

The casting agent transforms the input message data into a target-compatible schema.

Example

Given the input:

{
 "field1": "value1", 
 "field2": "value2"
}

With an agent configuration of:

- name: "Cast to a string"
  type: "cast"
  input: "input-topic" # optional
  output: "output-topic" # optional
  configuration:
    schema-type: "string"

The output would be:

{
  "field1": "value1", 
  "field2": "value2"
}
