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.
