		# Encode and decode streams into string streams (aka encoding the right
		way)
		# Decode streams into strings The Right Way(tm)

		```javascript
		fs = require('fs')
		zlib = require('zlib')
		strs = require('stringstream')

		var stream = fs.createReadStream('massiveLogFile.gz')
		.pipe(zlib.createGunzip())
		.pipe(strs('utf8'))
		```

		No need to deal with `setEncoding()` weirdness, just compose streams
		like they were supposed to be!

		Handles input and output encoding:

		```javascript
		// Stream from utf8 to hex to base64... Why not ay.
		fs.createReadStream('myFile').pipe(strs('utf8', 'hex')).pipe(strs('hex', 'base64'))
		```

		Also deals with `base64` output correctly by aligning each emitted data
		chunk so that there are no dangling `=` characters:

		```javascript
		var stream = fs.createReadStream('massiveLogFile.gz').pipe(strs('base64'))

		var fileStr = ''

		stream.on('data', function(data) { fileStr += data })
		stream.on('end', function() {
		console.log('My base64 encoded file is: ' + fileStr)
		})
		```
