     SwitchBehavior is a behavior that transform into different behaviors base on the input data.

+    The behavior expects a JSON formatted argument 'PrefixToBehavior' that maps prefixes to behaviors. The behavior detects the prefix on the data and use the corresponding Behavior to process the data and return the outputs.
