2 -In most cases, you will transform XML messages to other XML messages, or you will transform JSON or EDI messages in another of these formats. However, sometimes you want to perform an image transformation. With this image transformation you can transform images in certain formats to another format (i.e. png). This can come in handy when you want to standardize the image format before using it further downstream in your business application(s).
