Yes its the class that contains the actual data format implementation.
Camel provides a pluggable data format so we can have implementations
outside the camel-core (for example camel-castor which depends on
Castor etc.)

But a selected few do not depend on 3rd party .jars which of course
allow us to host the implementations directly in camel-core.
