KNet is a comprehensive .NET suite for Apache Kafka APIs providing all features: Producer, Consumer, Admin, Streams, Connect, backends (ZooKeeper and Kafka). This project aims to create a set of libraries and tools to direct access, from .NET, all the features available in the Apache Kafka binary distribution. There are many client libraries written to manage communication with Apache Kafka. Conversely, this project uses directly the Java packages released from The Apache Foundation giving more than one benefit: all implemented features are available at no extra implementation costs, avoids any third-party communication protocol implementation, access all features made available from Apache Kafka, measured high performance in many operating conditions. The Apache Kafka packages are downloaded from kafka-clients, kafka-streams, kafka-tools, kafka_2.13.
