Class StringConverter

java.lang.Object

org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.StringConverter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, AutoCloseable, org.apache.kafka.common.Configurable, Converter, HeaderConverter

public class StringConverter
extends Object
implements Converter, HeaderConverter

Converter and HeaderConverter implementation that only supports serializing to strings. When converting Kafka Connect data to bytes, the schema will be ignored and Object.toString() will always be invoked to convert the data to a String. When converting from bytes to Kafka Connect format, the converter will only ever return an optional string schema and a string or null. Encoding configuration is identical to StringSerializer and StringDeserializer, but for convenience this class can also be configured to use the same encoding for both encoding and decoding with the converter.encoding setting. This implementation currently does nothing with the topic names or header names.
