     <h3><a id="streams_api_changes_100" href="#streams_api_changes_100">Streams API changes in 1.0.0</a></h3>

+
+    <p>
+        With 1.0 a major API refactoring was accomplished and the new API is cleaner and easier to use.
+        This change includes the five main classes <code>KafakStreams<code>, <code>KStreamBuilder</code>,
+        <code>KStream</code>, <code>KTable</code>, and <code>TopologyBuilder</code> (and some more others).
+        All changes are fully backward compatible as old API is only deprecated but not removed.
+        We recommend to move to the new API as soon as you can.
+        We will summarize all API changes in the next paragraphs.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+        The two main classes to specify a topology via the DSL (<code>KStreamBuilder</code>)
+        or the Processor API (<code>TopologyBuilder</code>) were deprecated and replaced by
+        <code>StreamsBuilder</code> and <code>Topology<code> (both new classes are located in
+        package <code>org.apache.kafka.streams</code>).
+        Note, that <code>StreamsBuilder</code> does not extend <code>Topology</code>, i.e.,
+        the class hierarchy is different now.
+        The new classes have basically the same methods as the old ones to build a topology via DSL or Processor API.
+        However, some internal methods that were public in <code>KStreamBuilder</code>
+        and <code>TopologyBuilder</code> but not part of the actual API are not present
+        in the new classe any longer.
+        Furthermore, some overloads were simplified compared to the original classes.
+        See <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-120%3A+Cleanup+Kafka+Streams+builder+API">KIP-120</a>
+        and <a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-182%3A+Reduce+Streams+DSL+overloads+and+allow+easier+use+of+custom+storage+engines">KIP-182</a>
+        for full details.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+        Changing how a topology is specified also affects <code>KafkaStreams<code> constructors,
+        that now only accept a <code>Topology</code>.
+        Using the DSL builder class <code>StreamsBuilder</code> one can get the constructed
+        <code>Topology</code> via <code>StreamsBuilder#build()</code>.
+        Additionally, a new class <code>org.apache.kafka.streams.TopologyDescription</code>
+        (and some more dependent classes) were added.
+        Those can be used to get a detailed description of the specified topology
+        and can be obtained by calling <code>Topology#describe()</code>.
+        An example using this new API is shown in the <a href="/{{version}}/documentation/streams/quickstart">quickstart section</a>.
+    </p>
 
     <p>
         The Processor API was extended to allow users to schedule <code>punctuate</code> functions either based on data-driven <b>stream time</b> or wall-clock time.
