<li>The <ahref="#producerapi">Producer</a> API allows applications to send streams of data to topics in the Kafka cluster.
<li>The <ahref="#consumerapi">Consumer</a> API allows applications to read streams of data from topics in the Kafka cluster.
<li>The <ahref="#streamsapi">Streams</a> API allows transforming streams of data from input topics to output topics.
