Node.js core streams for userland
This package is a mirror of the streams implementations in Node.js.
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.
v3.x.x of readable-stream
supports Node 6, 8, and 10, as well as
evergreen browsers and IE 11.
v2.x.x of readable-stream
supports all Node.js version from 0.8, as well as
evergreen browsers and IE 10 & 11.
