What are streams?
All Topics
Streams in Node.js are objects that allow you to read or write data continuously in chunks rather than reading or writing the entire data at once.
A stream is an abstract interface for working with streaming data in Node.js.
The node:stream module provides an API for implementing the stream interface.
All streams are instances of EventEmitter.
They are used for efficiently processing large amounts of data, making I/O operations more manageable.
