>             Project: Camel
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: camel-core

>            Priority: Minor

> Camel core has type converters from String, Number and byte[] to Byte, Short, Integer, Long, Float, Double and BigInteger, but none to java.math.BigDecimal.
> So converting the String "1000.01" to BigDecimal returns null without an error, and the simple language shows it as empty:
> {code}
> ${bodyAs(java.math.BigDecimal)}
> ${convertTo(${body}, java.math.BigDecimal)}
> simple with resultType: java.math.BigDecimal
> {code}
> Comparisons such as ${body} > 1000 work because the comparison parses decimals itself (CAMEL-25013), which hides the gap.
> This is common for money amounts read from CSV or JSON. Add a toBigDecimal converter next to toBigInteger in ObjectConverter.
