 - 
 - ***Node-core streams for userland***
 - 
 - This package is a mirror of the Streams2 and Streams3 implementations in
 - Node-core.
 - 
 - Full documentation may be found on the [Node.js website](https://nodejs.org/dist/v8.17.0/docs/api/stream.html).
 - 
 - If you want to guarantee a stable streams base, regardless of what version of
 - Node you, or the users of your libraries are using, use **readable-stream** *only* and avoid the *"stream"* module in Node-core, for background see [this blogpost](http://r.va.gg/2014/06/why-i-dont-use-nodes-core-stream-module.html).
 - 
 - As of version 2.0.0 **readable-stream** uses semantic versioning.
