 This allows you to send and receive data in a variety of custom formats, including binary, and associate them with specific `contentTypes`.
 Spring Cloud Stream registers all the beans of type `org.springframework.messaging.converter.MessageConverter` as custom message converters along with the out of the box message converters.
 
-If your message converter needs to work with specific `content-type` and the target class (for both input and output), then the message converter needs to extend `org.springframework.messaging.converter.AbstractMessageConverter`.
