-                    <p class="last">Even though we do not demonstrate it in 
this example, a stream processor can access any available state stores by
-                        calling <code class="docutils literal"><span 
class="pre">ProcessorContext#getStateStore()</span></code>.
-                        State stores are only available if they have been 
connected to the processor, or if they are global stores.  While global stores 
do not need to be connected explicitly, they only allow for read-only access.
-                        There are two ways to connect state stores to a 
processor:
-                    <ul class="simple">
-                        <li>By passing the name of a store that has already 
been added via <code class="docutils literal"><span 
class="pre">Topology#addStateStore()</span></code> to the corresponding <code 
class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">KStream#process()</span></code> 
method call.</li>
-                        <li>Implementing <code class="docutils literal"><span

-                            passed to <code class="docutils literal"><span 
class="pre">KStream#process()</span></code>.  In this case there is no need to 
call <code class="docutils literal"><span 
class="pre">StreamsBuilder#addStateStore()</span></code>
-                            beforehand, the store will be automatically added 
for you. You can also implement <code class="docutils literal"><span 
class="pre">ConnectedStoreProvider#stores()</span></code> on the
-                            <code class="docutils literal"><span 
class="pre">Value*</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal"><span

removal and migration to processors</a>
+                    </h3>
+                </a>
+                <p>As of Kafka 4.0, several deprecated methods in the Kafka 
Streams API, such as <code>transform</code>,
+                    
<code>flatTransform</code>,<br><code>transformValues</code>, 
<code>flatTransformValues</code>, and
+                    <code>process</code> have been removed. These methods have 
been replaced with the<br>more versatile Processor API.
+                    This guide provides detailed steps for migrating existing 
code to use the new Processor<br>API and explains the
+                    benefits of the changes.</p>
+                <p>The following deprecated methods are no longer available in 
Kafka Streams:</p>
+                <ul>
+                    <li><code>KStream#transform</code></li>
+                    <li><code>KStream#flatTransform</code></li>
+                    <li><code>KStream#transformValues</code></li>
+                    <li><code>KStream#flatTransformValues</code></li>
+                    <li><code>KStream#process</code></li>
+                </ul>
+                <p>The Processor API now serves as a unified replacement for 
all these methods. It simplifies the API surface
+                    while<br>maintaining support for both stateless and 
stateful operations.</p>
+                <h4>Migration Examples</h4>
+                <p>To migrate from the deprecated <code>transform</code>, 
<code>transformValues</code>, <code>flatTransform</code>, and
+                    <code>flatTransformValues</code> methods to 
the<br>Processor API (PAPI) in Kafka Streams, let&#39;s resume the
+                    previouss examples. The new <code>process</code> and 
<code>processValues</code><br>methods enable a more flexible
+                    and reusable approach by requiring implementations of the 
<code>Processor</code>
+                    or<br><code>FixedKeyProcessor</code> interfaces.</p>

-                    <p class="last">Even though we do not demonstrate it in 
this example, a stream processor can access any available state stores by
-                        calling <code class="docutils literal"><span 
class="pre">ProcessorContext#getStateStore()</span></code>.
-                        State stores are only available if they have been 
connected to the processor, or if they are global stores.  While global stores 
do not need to be connected explicitly, they only allow for read-only access.
-                        There are two ways to connect state stores to a 
processor:
-                    <ul class="simple">
-                        <li>By passing the name of a store that has already 
been added via <code class="docutils literal"><span 
class="pre">Topology#addStateStore()</span></code> to the corresponding <code 
class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">KStream#process()</span></code> 
method call.</li>
-                        <li>Implementing <code class="docutils literal"><span

-                            passed to <code class="docutils literal"><span 
class="pre">KStream#process()</span></code>.  In this case there is no need to 
call <code class="docutils literal"><span 
class="pre">StreamsBuilder#addStateStore()</span></code>
-                            beforehand, the store will be automatically added 
for you. You can also implement <code class="docutils literal"><span 
class="pre">ConnectedStoreProvider#stores()</span></code> on the
-                            <code class="docutils literal"><span

Text Messages</h5>
+                <ul>
+                    <li><strong>Idea:</strong> A messaging stream contains 
user-generated content, and you want to replace slang
+                        words
+                        with their formal equivalents (e.g., &quot;u&quot; 
becomes &quot;you&quot;, &quot;brb&quot; becomes &quot;be
+                        right back&quot;). The operation only modifies the 
message value and keeps the key intact.</li>
+                    <li><strong>Real-World Context:</strong> In customer 
support chat systems, normalizing text by replacing slang
+                        with
+                        formal equivalents ensures that automated sentiment 
analysis tools work accurately and provide reliable
+                        insights.</li>

+                <ul>
+                    <li><strong>Type Safety and Flexibility:</strong> The 
process and processValues APIs utilize
+                        <code>ProcessorContext</code> and <code>Record</code> 
or <code>FixedKeyRecord</code> objects for better type
+                        safety and flexibility of custom processing logic.
+                    </li>
+                    <li><strong>Clear State and Logic Management:</strong> 
Implementations for <code>Processor</code> or
+                        <code>FixedKeyProcessor</code> should manage state and 
logic clearly. Use <code>context().forward()</code>
+                        for emitting records downstream.
+                    </li>
+                    <li><strong>Unified API:</strong> Consolidates multiple 
methods into a single, versatile API.</li>
+                    <li><strong>Future-Proof:</strong> Ensures compatibility 
with the latest Kafka Streams releases.</li>

+                        <a class="toc-backref" href="#id37">Transformers 
removal and migration to processors</a>
+                    </h3>
+                </a>
+                <p>As of Kafka 4.0, several deprecated methods in the Kafka 
Streams API, such as <code>transform</code>,
+                    
<code>flatTransform</code>,<br><code>transformValues</code>, 
<code>flatTransformValues</code>, and
+                    <code>process</code> have been removed. These methods have 
been replaced with the<br>more versatile Processor API.
+                    This guide provides detailed steps for migrating existing 
code to use the new Processor<br>API and explains the
+                    benefits of the changes.</p>
+                <p>The following deprecated methods are no longer available in 
Kafka Streams:</p>
+                <ul>
+                    <li><code>KStream#transform</code></li>
+                    <li><code>KStream#flatTransform</code></li>
+                    <li><code>KStream#transformValues</code></li>
+                    <li><code>KStream#flatTransformValues</code></li>
+                    <li><code>KStream#process</code></li>
+                </ul>
+                <p>The Processor API now serves as a unified replacement for 
all these methods. It simplifies the API surface
+                    while<br>maintaining support for both stateless and 
stateful operations.</p>
+                <h4>Migration Examples</h4>
+                <p>To migrate from the deprecated <code>transform</code>, 
<code>transformValues</code>, <code>flatTransform</code>, and
+                    <code>flatTransformValues</code> methods to 
the<br>Processor API (PAPI) in Kafka Streams, let&#39;s resume the
+                    previouss examples. The new <code>process</code> and 
<code>processValues</code><br>methods enable a more flexible
+                    and reusable approach by requiring implementations of the 
<code>Processor</code>
+                    or<br><code>FixedKeyProcessor</code> interfaces.</p>
