In brewing, mashing passes raw ingredients through hot water to activate, hydrate, and convert
them for fermentation. Mash, the open source project, takes raw data payloads and provides a generic mediation
process to translate the payloads into a new output. This allows configuration-driven mediation to be plugged
into your application, which is especially important when dealing with ad-hoc tweaks that need to occur to payloads
to add, remove, or alter them to conform to changing service payloads to/from other systems.
