readable-stream

Node-core v8.11.1 streams for userland

npm install --save readable-stream

Node-core streams for userland

This package is a mirror of the Streams2 and Streams3 implementations in Node-core.

Full documentation may be found on the Node.js website.

If you want to guarantee a stable streams base, regardless of what version of Node you, or the users of your libraries are using, use readable-stream only and avoid the *"stream"* module in Node-core, for background see this blogpost.

As of version 2.0.0 readable-stream uses semantic versioning.

# Streams Working Group

`readable-stream` is maintained by the Streams Working Group, which oversees the development and maintenance of the Streams API within Node.js. The responsibilities of the Streams Working Group include:

- Addressing stream issues on the Node.js issue tracker.
- Authoring and editing stream documentation within the Node.js project.
- Reviewing changes to stream subclasses within the Node.js project.
- Redirecting changes to streams from the Node.js project to this project.
- Assisting in the implementation of stream providers within Node.js.
- Recommending versions of `readable-stream` to be included in Node.js.
- Messaging about the future of streams to give the community advance notice of changes.
