stream-browserify

stream-browserify

the stream module from node core, for browsers!

This module uses readable-stream, with additions for compatibility with npm packages that use old Node.js stream APIs.

Install

You usually do not have to install stream-browserify yourself! If your code runs in Node.js, stream is built in, or readable-stream can be used. If your code runs in the browser, bundlers like browserify also include the stream-browserify module.

But if none of those apply, with npm do:

npm install stream-browserify

API

Consult the node core documentation on streams.

readable-stream

The readable-stream package is a mirror of the stream module from Node.js core, which is specifically maintained for compatibility with different Node.js versions. It provides the same API as stream-browserify but is more focused on Node.js environments rather than the browser.

through2

Through2 is a tiny wrapper around Node.js streams.Transform that makes it easier to create transform streams. It is similar to stream-browserify's transform stream functionality but with a simpler API for creating transform streams.

highland

Highland.js manages synchronous and asynchronous code easily, using nothing more than standard JavaScript and Node-like streams. While stream-browserify aims to replicate Node's stream module in the browser, Highland.js provides higher-level stream operations and utilities, making it more powerful for complex stream processing tasks.
