Destination Nodes
Destination nodes complete a pipeline branch by writing, sending, returning, or publishing the result produced by source and compose nodes. Use destination nodes when the prepared output should leave the pipeline, be uploaded to a configured location, or be returned to an inbound HTTP caller.
