Package description

What is is-stream?

The is-stream npm package is a simple utility used to check if an object is a Node.js stream. It can differentiate between readable, writable, duplex (both readable and writable), and transform (a type of duplex stream) streams. This package is useful when you need to validate that a given object conforms to the stream interface expected by Node.js APIs.
