# Consuming Data Streams

There are different ways to consume data from the Data Streams:

- Setting up an application (see section [Consuming Data From the Stream Program-controlled](/v1/docs/consuming-data-from-the-stream-program-controlled))
- Using the command line interface tool from Kafka (see section [Consuming Data from the Stream with the Kafka Binary Distribution](/v1/docs/consuming-data-from-the-stream-with-the-kafka-binary-distribution)).

Both alternatives require to set up proper JAAS (Java Authentication and Authorization Service) configuration. In this documentation, we describe the necessary steps in detail. For a better understanding, we provide examples for Java and Scala.

> [!WARNING]
> Mapp will only provide support for the officially maintained Apache Kafka APIs ([http://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#api](http://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#api)).
