Node stream

In Node.js a node stream is a readable or writable continuous flow of data that can be manipulated asynchronously as data comes in (or out).[1]

This API can be used in data intensive web applications where scalability is an issue.

A stream could be several things, not just a file stream, such as a parser, HTTP request, or a child process etc.[2]
