------------------------------------

Hi Christian

Camel have 150+ type converters in the distribution. The new Camel web console 
have a web page that lists them all.
And I think there is a maven tool that could generate a list of converters as 
well.

But the rule of thumb is that you should just try to convert to the type you 
want and Camel will lookup a suitable type convert if any exsits.
If not you get an exception.

The basic converters for String, byte[], streams, XML should be there. There 
might be some odd combinations missing such as a org.w3c.Document to byte[] or 
the likes.

Keeping documentation in the wiki is time consuming and it would be much better 
if we get a tool to be able to slurp the javadoc in the code, then we would be 
able to generate a full DSL list with documentation.

As we love contributions, you can get karma to the wiki pages so you can edit 
and add it yourself.

> When converting data  from a binary form the convertBodyTo(String.class) 
> function currently does not support changing the encoding. This should be 
> added.  Additionally it would be nice to have automatic encoding settings for 
> xml files that contain a <?xml header with an encoding attribute.
> The issue happened for me when I tried to read from a FileEndpoint. I have 
> debugged into the code and found that where the file is read there seems to 
> be no support for encoding at all. But maybe I am wrong. I will search for 
> the place in the code and post a link here.
