 # my_custom_deserializers
-Kafka deserializer examples
+
+Kafka deserializers examples to use to demo/test the Conduktor "custom deserializers" feature.
+
+You can download the latest jar containing these deserializers here: TODO Jules
+
+To learn how to use the "custom deserializer" feature provided in Condukot, you can read the documentation of the feature: https://docs.conduktor.io/features/consuming-data/custom-deserializers
+
+## Deserializers implementation details
+
+Here's the list of the deserializers available in this jar and a quick explanation of each deserializer behaviour.    
+These deserializers are for demo/test purpose only.
+
+### io.example.conduktor.custom.deserializers.constant.ConstantString
+
+This deserializer completely ignores the messages it receives from Kafka.     
+For each message it receives from Kafka, it returns `this is a message`.
+
+### io.example.conduktor.custom.deserializers.constant.ConstantChar
+
+This deserializer completely ignores the messages it receives from Kafka.     
+For each message it receives from Kafka, it returns the letter `c`.
+
+### io.example.conduktor.custom.deserializers.constant.ConstantInt
+
+This deserializer completely ignores the messages it receives from Kafka.     
+For each message it receives from Kafka, it returns the value `1`.
+
+### io.example.conduktor.custom.deserializers.constant.ConstantDouble
+
+This deserializer completely ignores the messages it receives from Kafka.     
+For each message it receives from Kafka, it returns the value `1.234`.
+
+### io.example.conduktor.custom.deserializers.constant.ConstantFloat
+
+This deserializer completely ignores the messages it receives from Kafka.     
+For each message it receives from Kafka, it returns the value `1.456`.
+
+### io.example.conduktor.custom.deserializers.constant.ConstantShort
+
+This deserializer completely ignores the messages it receives from Kafka.     
+For each message it receives from Kafka, it returns the value `2`.
+
+### io.example.conduktor.custom.deserializers.constant.ConstantBoolean
+
+This deserializer completely ignores the messages it receives from Kafka.     
+For each message it receives from Kafka, it returns the value `true`.
+
+### io.example.conduktor.custom.deserializers.constant.ConstantByte
+
+This deserializer completely ignores the messages it receives from Kafka.     
+For each message it receives from Kafka, it returns the value `6`.
+
+### io.example.conduktor.custom.deserializers.constant.ConstantNull
+
+This deserializer completely ignores the messages it receives from Kafka.     
+For each message it receives from Kafka, it returns `null`.
+
+### io.example.conduktor.custom.deserializers.MyCustomDeserializer
+
+This deserializer transforms the data (bytes) it receives from Kafka into a `String` (text),     
+then sees if it matches then following format:
+```
+-- this is the serialized data
+```
+- If the message received from Kakfa effectively starts with a `--<space>` characters sequence then followed by some text, 
+it creates a new instance of a data structure named `MyMessage`, that contains only one field named `value` and is of type `String`, as following:     
+    ```scala
+    MyMessage(value = "this is the serialized data")
+    ```
+
+    In Conduktor, this data structure will be interpreted and displayed as JSON:     
+    ```json
+    { "value": "this is the serialized data" }
+    ```
+  
+- If the message received from Kafka doesn't match the expected format, then the deserializer fails with an error message:
+  ```
+  Invalid format received for message: <the received message>
+  ```
+
+This simple example is here to demonstrate 2 things:
+  - What's happening when a custom deserializer fails to deserialize a message.
+  - Give a simple example of "deserialization" (the message has to respect of certain format so that the deserializer can extract the data)
+
