IBM® Integration Bus supplies a range of parsers to parse and write messages in different formats.
A parser is called when the bit stream that represents an input message must be converted to the format that is used internally by the broker; this process is known as parsing. For more information about the logical message tree structure created by parsing a message, see Logical tree structure.
A serializer is called when a logical tree structure must be converted into a bit stream; this process is known as serializing.
For more information, including the full list of parsers that are supplied with IBM Integration Bus, see Parsers.
