DataTypeAware (Camel :: API 3.20.9 API)

```
public interface DataTypeAware
```
Allows Message to store a DataType which represents the data type of the Message. Sometimes message content is marshaled into String, InputStream or etc, and the data type structure is not available until it's unmarshaled into Java object. The DataType stored in a DataTypeAware message carries that missing data type information even if it's marshaled, and whatever the Java class of the body is. This type information is used to detect required Transformer and Validator.
Data type are automatic turned on if one or more routes has been explicit configured with input and output types. Otherwise, data type is default off.
