Standard ADO.NET Access to Kafka

The Apache Kafka ADO.NET Provider offers the most natural way to access Kafka data from any .NET application. Simply use Apache Kafka Data Provider objects to connect and access data just as you would access any traditional database. You will be able to use the Apache Kafka Data Provider through Visual Studio Server Explorer, in code through familiar classes, and in data controls like DataGridView, GridView, DataSet, etc.

The CData ADO.NET Provider for Apache Kafka hides the complexity of accessing data and provides additional powerful security features, smart caching, batching, socket management, and more.

Working with DataAdapters, DataSets, DataTables, etc.

The Apache Kafka Data Provider has the same ADO.NET architecture as the native .NET data providers for SQL Server and OLEDB, including: KafkaConnection, KafkaCommand, KafkaDataAdapter, KafkaDataReader, KafkaDataSource, KafkaParameter, etc. Because of this you can now access Kafka data in an easy, familiar way.
