+NOTE: in the batch-consuming mode, the default content type of Spring Cloud Stream binder is **application/json**, so make sure the message payload is aligned with the content-type. For example, when using the default content type of **application/json** to received messages with **String** payload, the payload should be a JSON String, surrounded with double quotes for the original String text. While for **text/plain** content type, it can be a **String** object directly.
+
+For more details, please refer to the official doc of [Spring Cloud Stream Content Type Negotiation][content-type-negotiation].
