Node Js Streams

There are four types of streams in Node.js: readable, writable, duplex, and transform. Streams allow data to be processed incrementally instead of all at once, avoiding memory issues. Data can be read from and written to streams, and streams can be piped together or chained to connect multiple stream operations.

What are Streams?
Streams are collections of data — just like
arrays or strings. The difference is that
streams might not be available all at once,

and they don’t have to fit in memory.

bharatsewani1993
there are four types of streams:
Readable − Stream which is used for read
operation.

Writable − Stream which is used for write


operation.

Duplex − Stream which can be used for both read


and write operation.

Transform − A type of duplex stream where the


output is computed based on input.

Piping the Streams:
Piping is a mechanism where we provide the
output of one stream as the input to another

stream. It is normally used to get data from one


stream and to pass the output of that stream to
another stream. There is no limit on piping
operations.

Chaining the Streams
Chaining is a mechanism to connect the output of
one stream to another stream and create a chain

of multiple stream operations. It is normally used


with piping operations.
