+# Transformer
+A transformer is a stateless processing object that takes inputs and converts the input into a processed output. Transformers may in turn call external services if needed. 
+
+Transformers transforms the previous xMessage from the user to one that needs to be sent next. It is essentially a microservice that based on the previous user action, returns a new xMessage that will then be shown to the user. This also enables conversion from one type
+All inbound messages pass through a transformer. If a transformer is not assigned, then a null transformer is assigned to the xMessage. Since the current implementation of MessageRosa is only in Java, currently there is a limitation on the number of languages you can build the transformer on which right now is just Java.

+
+Simply put a transformer looks something like this

+
+**Responsibilities**
+* Acts as a state machine and converts messages from one state to another.
+* Used to transform messages
+* Applies conversational logic (constraints or input format)
+
+To set things in prespetive the following block diagram below outlines various components that come together to form the Unified Communications Interface (UCI):

+
+# High-level Architecture Design
+
+1. **Adapter**: An adapter translates between messages received from communication channels on specific providers and the internal XMessage format (followed by UCI). A new adapter is required for every new combination of communication channel and service provider (e.g. - WhatsApp + Gupshup; WhatsApp + NetCore; WhatsApp + Twilio). An adapter config references the communication channel, service provider and associated metadata such as a specific business account phone number.
+2. **Transformer**: A transformer is a stateless processing object that takes inputs and converts the input into a processed output. Transformers may in turn call external services if needed. 
+3. **Conversation Logic**: Conversation logic defines the overall flow for a specific conversation. A conversation logic object references a sequence of transformers that will be applied to arrive at the final response at a specific point in the conversation and the associated adapter config for this conversation logic.
+4. **User Segments:** A bot can either be an open public bot or a closed targetted bot. In the latter case, a closed user segment has to be defined. User segment contains user data including a mechanism to fetch them from a federated user registry.
+5. **Conversations:** A conversation orchestrates a conversation with a specific conversation logic assigned to a set of users. A bot object references user segment(s) and conversation logic(s).
+
+Following is a summary of the relation between the different blocks of UCI :
+
+`Adapter = Communication Channel + Service Provider` 
+
+`User segment` 
+
+`Transformer` 
+
+`Conversation Logic = {Transformers} + Adapter` 
+
+`Bot = {Conversation Logics} + {User segments}`
