Little About Node.js

Node.js is a powerful JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 engine. It is used for developing server-side applications and is one of the most popular JavaScript runtimes.

Node.js streams are a powerful way to work with data. They provide a way to read data from a source, process it, and write it to a destination. Streams can be used to read and write files, make HTTP requests, and more.

Readable streams provide a way to read data from a source. The data in a readable stream can come from many places, such as a file, an HTTP response, or STDOUT.

Writable streams provide a way to write data to a destination. The data in a writable stream can be written to many places, such as a file, an HTTP request, or STDOUT.

Node.js provides many built-in readable and writable stream classes. In addition, Node.js streams can be created with the Streams API.

The Streams API provides a way to create, operate, and consume streams. It is a low-level API that provides the foundation for all other streams.

The Streams API is not limited to Node.js streams
