Byte Array Format

When to use this Format

The Byte Array format is ideal for scenarios where you need to transfer messages between two queues without altering their content in any way. This format is particularly useful when routing unmodified messages from one system to another, such as between two different message brokers (like MQTT, ActiveMQ, etc.), or when ensuring the raw data integrity during transit between systems. Since no transformation is applied, the data is transferred exactly as it was received, preserving the original structure and format.
