Yes. The decoding of a payload based on its schema type is what the payload()
function does. Your Payloader won't currently work well/legibly for fields
encoded numerically:
https://github.com/o19s/payload-component/blob/master/src/main/java/com/o19s/payloads/Payloader.java#L130
<https://github.com/o19s/payload-component/blob/master/src/main/java/com/o19s/payloads/Payloader.java#L130>
I think that code could probably be slightly enhanced to leverage
PayloadUtils.getPayloadDecoder(fieldType) and use bytes if the field type
doesn't have a better decoder.
