## Intent
|
|
It is very common in integration systems that incoming messages consists of many items bundled together. For example
|
|
an invoice document contains multiple invoice lines describing transaction (quantity, name of provided
|
|
service/sold goods, price etc.). Such bundled messages may not be accepted by other systems. This is where splitter
|
|
pattern comes in handy. It will take the whole document, split it based on given criteria and send individual
|
|
items to the endpoint.

## Applicability
|
|
Use the Splitter pattern when
|
|
|
|
* You need to split received data into smaller pieces to process them individually
|
|
* You need to control the size of data batches you are able to process
|
