What is the role of the Formatter in the message processing sequence?

The Formatter plays a crucial role in the message processing sequence by transforming Internal Messages into External Messages. This transformation is essential for ensuring that the data generated within the system is formatted correctly and adheres to the specified protocols or standards required for external communication.

When messages are generated internally within a system, they may not be in a format suitable for external systems or users. The Formatter takes these internal representations and processes them, applying any necessary adjustments to data structures, formatting rules, and encoding. This transforms them into a format that can be sent to other systems, applications, or users without loss of information and in a way that can be properly understood and utilized.

This function is integral to maintaining effective communication between various components of a software ecosystem, ensuring that messages are correctly interpreted by receiving systems or stakeholders. Therefore, the role of the Formatter is a key aspect of successful message communication in the Avaloq Message Interface framework.
