<p>A stream is an abstract interface for working with streaming data in Node.js.
The <code>node:stream</code> module provides an API for implementing the stream interface.</p>
<p>There are many stream objects provided by Node.js. For instance, a
<a href="http.html#class-httpincomingmessage">request to an HTTP server</a> and <a href="process.html#processstdout"><code>process.stdout</code></a>
are both stream instances.</p>
<p>Streams can be readable, writable, or both. All streams are instances of

<p>The <code>node:stream</code> module is useful for creating new types of stream instances.
It is usually not necessary to use the <code>node:stream</code> module to consume streams.</p>

<p>There are four fundamental stream types within Node.js:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="#class-streamwritable"><code>Writable</code></a>: streams to which data can be written (for example,
<a href="fs.html#fscreatewritestreampath-options"><code>fs.createWriteStream()</code></a>).</li>
<li><a href="#class-streamreadable"><code>Readable</code></a>: streams from which data can be read (for example,
<a href="fs.html#fscreatereadstreampath-options"><code>fs.createReadStream()</code></a>).</li>
<li><a href="#class-streamduplex"><code>Duplex</code></a>: streams that are both <code>Readable</code> and <code>Writable</code> (for example,
<a href="net.html#class-netsocket"><code>net.Socket</code></a>).</li>
<li><a href="#class-streamtransform"><code>Transform</code></a>: <code>Duplex</code> streams that can modify or transform the data as it
is written and read (for example, <a href="zlib.html#zlibcreatedeflateoptions"><code>zlib.createDeflate()</code></a>).</li>
</ul>
<p>Additionally, this module includes the utility functions
<a href="#streamduplexpairoptions"><code>stream.duplexPair()</code></a>,
<a href="#streampipelinesource-transforms-destination-callback"><code>stream.pipeline()</code></a>,
<a href="#streamfinishedstream-options-callback"><code>stream.finished()</code></a>
<a href="#streamreadablefromiterable-options"><code>stream.Readable.from()</code></a>, and
<a href="#streamaddabortsignalsignal-stream"><code>stream.addAbortSignal()</code></a>.</p>

<p>The <code>stream/promises</code> API provides an alternative set of asynchronous utility
functions for streams that return <code>Promise</code> objects rather than using
callbacks. The API is accessible via <code>require('node:stream/promises')</code>
or <code>require('node:stream').promises</code>.</p>

<code>Int32Array</code> or <code>Uint8Array</code>. When you write a TypedArray or DataView to a
stream, Node.js processes
the raw bytes.</li>
</ul>
<p>It is possible, however, for stream
implementations to work with other types of JavaScript values (with the
exception of <code>null</code>, which serves a special purpose within streams).
Such streams are considered to operate in "object mode".</p>
<p>Stream instances are switched into object mode using the <code>objectMode</code> option
when the stream is created. Attempting to switch an existing stream into
object mode is not safe.</p>
<h4>Buffering<span><a class="mark" href="#buffering" id="buffering">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="stream_buffering"></a></h4>
<p>Both <a href="#class-streamwritable"><code>Writable</code></a> and <a href="#class-streamreadable"><code>Readable</code></a> streams will store data in an internal
buffer.</p>
<p>The amount of data potentially buffered depends on the <code>highWaterMark</code> option
passed into the stream's constructor. For normal streams, the <code>highWaterMark</code>
option specifies a <a href="#highwatermark-discrepancy-after-calling-readablesetencoding">total number of bytes</a>. For streams operating
in object mode, the <code>highWaterMark</code> specifies a total number of objects. For
streams operating on (but not decoding) strings, the <code>highWaterMark</code> specifies
a total number of UTF-16 code units.</p>
<p>Data is buffered in <code>Readable</code> streams when the implementation calls
<a href="#readablepushchunk-encoding"><code>stream.push(chunk)</code></a>. If the consumer of the Stream does not
call <a href="#readablereadsize"><code>stream.read()</code></a>, the data will sit in the internal
queue until it is consumed.</p>
<p>Once the total size of the internal read buffer reaches the threshold specified
by <code>highWaterMark</code>, the stream will temporarily stop reading data from the
underlying resource until the data currently buffered can be consumed (that is,
the stream will stop calling the internal <a href="#readable_readsize"><code>readable._read()</code></a> method that is
used to fill the read buffer).</p>
<p>Data is buffered in <code>Writable</code> streams when the
<a href="#writablewritechunk-encoding-callback"><code>writable.write(chunk)</code></a> method is called repeatedly. While the
total size of the internal write buffer is below the threshold set by
<code>highWaterMark</code>, calls to <code>writable.write()</code> will return <code>true</code>. Once
the size of the internal buffer reaches or exceeds the <code>highWaterMark</code>, <code>false</code>
will be returned.</p>
<p>A key goal of the <code>stream</code> API, particularly the <a href="#readablepipedestination-options"><code>stream.pipe()</code></a> method,
is to limit the buffering of data to acceptable levels such that sources and
destinations of differing speeds will not overwhelm the available memory.</p>
<p>The <code>highWaterMark</code> option is a threshold, not a limit: it dictates the amount
of data that a stream buffers before it stops asking for more data. It does not
enforce a strict memory limitation in general. Specific stream implementations
may choose to enforce stricter limits but doing so is optional.</p>
<p>Because <a href="#class-streamduplex"><code>Duplex</code></a> and <a href="#class-streamtransform"><code>Transform</code></a> streams are both <code>Readable</code> and
<code>Writable</code>, each maintains <em>two</em> separate internal buffers used for reading and
writing, allowing each side to operate independently of the other while
maintaining an appropriate and efficient flow of data. For example,
<a href="net.html#class-netsocket"><code>net.Socket</code></a> instances are <a href="#class-streamduplex"><code>Duplex</code></a> streams whose <code>Readable</code> side allows
consumption of data received <em>from</em> the socket and whose <code>Writable</code> side allows
writing data <em>to</em> the socket. Because data may be written to the socket at a
faster or slower rate than data is received, each side should
operate (and buffer) independently of the other.</p>
<p>The mechanics of the internal buffering are an internal implementation detail
and may be changed at any time. However, for certain advanced implementations,
the internal buffers can be retrieved using <code>writable.writableBuffer</code> or
<code>readable.readableBuffer</code>. Use of these undocumented properties is discouraged.</p>

<p><a href="#class-streamwritable"><code>Writable</code></a> streams (such as <code>res</code> in the example) expose methods such as
<code>write()</code> and <code>end()</code> that are used to write data onto the stream.</p>
<p><a href="#class-streamreadable"><code>Readable</code></a> streams use the <a href="events.html#class-eventemitter"><code>EventEmitter</code></a> API for notifying application
code when data is available to be read off the stream. That available data can
be read from the stream in multiple ways.</p>
<p>Both <a href="#class-streamwritable"><code>Writable</code></a> and <a href="#class-streamreadable"><code>Readable</code></a> streams use the <a href="events.html#class-eventemitter"><code>EventEmitter</code></a> API in
various ways to communicate the current state of the stream.</p>
<p><a href="#class-streamduplex"><code>Duplex</code></a> and <a href="#class-streamtransform"><code>Transform</code></a> streams are both <a href="#class-streamwritable"><code>Writable</code></a> and
<a href="#class-streamreadable"><code>Readable</code></a>.</p>
<p>Applications that are either writing data to or consuming data from a stream
are not required to implement the stream interfaces directly and will generally
have no reason to call <code>require('node:stream')</code>.</p>
<p>Developers wishing to implement new types of streams should refer to the

<h4>Writable streams<span><a class="mark" href="#writable-streams" id="writable-streams">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="stream_writable_streams"></a></h4>
<p>Writable streams are an abstraction for a <em>destination</em> to which data is
written.</p>
<p>Examples of <a href="#class-streamwritable"><code>Writable</code></a> streams include:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http.html#class-httpclientrequest">HTTP requests, on the client</a></li>
<li><a href="http.html#class-httpserverresponse">HTTP responses, on the server</a></li>

<li><a href="process.html#processstdout"><code>process.stdout</code></a>, <a href="process.html#processstderr"><code>process.stderr</code></a></li>
</ul>
<p>Some of these examples are actually <a href="#class-streamduplex"><code>Duplex</code></a> streams that implement the
<a href="#class-streamwritable"><code>Writable</code></a> interface.</p>
<p>All <a href="#class-streamwritable"><code>Writable</code></a> streams implement the interface defined by the
<code>stream.Writable</code> class.</p>
<p>While specific instances of <a href="#class-streamwritable"><code>Writable</code></a> streams may differ in various ways,
all <code>Writable</code> streams follow the same fundamental usage pattern as illustrated
in the example below:</p>

<p>The primary intent of <code>writable.cork()</code> is to accommodate a situation in which
several small chunks are written to the stream in rapid succession. Instead of
immediately forwarding them to the underlying destination, <code>writable.cork()</code>
buffers all the chunks until <code>writable.uncork()</code> is called, which will pass them
all to <code>writable._writev()</code>, if present. This prevents a head-of-line blocking
situation where data is being buffered while waiting for the first small chunk
to be processed. However, use of <code>writable.cork()</code> without implementing
<code>writable._writev()</code> may have an adverse effect on throughput.</p>

wait for the <code>'drain'</code> event to be emitted before continuing to write
additional data; otherwise <code>true</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <code>writable.write()</code> method writes some data to the stream, and calls the
supplied <code>callback</code> once the data has been fully handled. If an error
occurs, the <code>callback</code> will be called with the error as its
first argument. The <code>callback</code> is called asynchronously and before <code>'error'</code> is
emitted.</p>
<p>The return value is <code>true</code> if the internal buffer is less than the
<code>highWaterMark</code> configured when the stream was created after admitting <code>chunk</code>.
If <code>false</code> is returned, further attempts to write data to the stream should
stop until the <a href="#event-drain"><code>'drain'</code></a> event is emitted.</p>
<p>While a stream is not draining, calls to <code>write()</code> will buffer <code>chunk</code>, and
return false. Once all currently buffered chunks are drained (accepted for
delivery by the operating system), the <code>'drain'</code> event will be emitted.
Once <code>write()</code> returns false, do not write more chunks
until the <code>'drain'</code> event is emitted. While calling <code>write()</code> on a stream that
is not draining is allowed, Node.js will buffer all written chunks until
maximum memory usage occurs, at which point it will abort unconditionally.
Even before it aborts, high memory usage will cause poor garbage collector
performance and high RSS (which is not typically released back to the system,
even after the memory is no longer required). Since TCP sockets may never
drain if the remote peer does not read the data, writing a socket that is
not draining may lead to a remotely exploitable vulnerability.</p>
<p>Writing data while the stream is not draining is particularly
problematic for a <a href="#class-streamtransform"><code>Transform</code></a>, because the <code>Transform</code> streams are paused
by default until they are piped or a <code>'data'</code> or <code>'readable'</code> event handler
is added.</p>
<p>If the data to be written can be generated or fetched on demand, it is
recommended to encapsulate the logic into a <a href="#class-streamreadable"><code>Readable</code></a> and use
<a href="#readablepipedestination-options"><code>stream.pipe()</code></a>. However, if calling <code>write()</code> is preferred, it is
possible to respect backpressure and avoid memory issues using the
<a href="#event-drain"><code>'drain'</code></a> event:</p>

<h4>Readable streams<span><a class="mark" href="#readable-streams" id="readable-streams">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="stream_readable_streams"></a></h4>
<p>Readable streams are an abstraction for a <em>source</em> from which data is
consumed.</p>
<p>Examples of <code>Readable</code> streams include:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http.html#class-httpincomingmessage">HTTP responses, on the client</a></li>
<li><a href="http.html#class-httpincomingmessage">HTTP requests, on the server</a></li>
<li><a href="fs.html#class-fsreadstream">fs read streams</a></li>
<li><a href="zlib.html">zlib streams</a></li>
<li><a href="crypto.html">crypto streams</a></li>
<li><a href="net.html#class-netsocket">TCP sockets</a></li>
<li><a href="child_process.html#subprocessstdout">child process stdout and stderr</a></li>
<li><a href="process.html#processstdin"><code>process.stdin</code></a></li>
</ul>
<p>All <a href="#class-streamreadable"><code>Readable</code></a> streams implement the interface defined by the
<code>stream.Readable</code> class.</p>
<h5>Two reading modes<span><a class="mark" href="#two-reading-modes" id="two-reading-modes">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="stream_two_reading_modes"></a></h5>
<p><code>Readable</code> streams effectively operate in one of two modes: flowing and
paused. These modes are separate from <a href="#object-mode">object mode</a>.
A <a href="#class-streamreadable"><code>Readable</code></a> stream can be in object mode or not, regardless of whether
it is in flowing mode or paused mode.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>In flowing mode, data is read from the underlying system automatically
and provided to an application as quickly as possible using events via the
<a href="events.html#class-eventemitter"><code>EventEmitter</code></a> interface.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>In paused mode, the <a href="#readablereadsize"><code>stream.read()</code></a> method must be called
explicitly to read chunks of data from the stream.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>All <a href="#class-streamreadable"><code>Readable</code></a> streams begin in paused mode but can be switched to flowing
mode in one of the following ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>Adding a <a href="#event-data"><code>'data'</code></a> event handler.</li>
<li>Calling the <a href="#readableresume"><code>stream.resume()</code></a> method.</li>
<li>Calling the <a href="#readablepipedestination-options"><code>stream.pipe()</code></a> method to send the data to a <a href="#class-streamwritable"><code>Writable</code></a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <code>Readable</code> can switch back to paused mode using one of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>If there are no pipe destinations, by calling the
<a href="#readablepause"><code>stream.pause()</code></a> method.</li>
<li>If there are pipe destinations, by removing all pipe destinations.
Multiple pipe destinations may be removed by calling the
<a href="#readableunpipedestination"><code>stream.unpipe()</code></a> method.</li>
</ul>
<p>The important concept to remember is that a <code>Readable</code> will not generate data
until a mechanism for either consuming or ignoring that data is provided. If
the consuming mechanism is disabled or taken away, the <code>Readable</code> will <em>attempt</em>
to stop generating the data.</p>
<p>For backward compatibility reasons, removing <a href="#event-data"><code>'data'</code></a> event handlers will
<strong>not</strong> automatically pause the stream. Also, if there are piped destinations,
then calling <a href="#readablepause"><code>stream.pause()</code></a> will not guarantee that the
stream will <em>remain</em> paused once those destinations drain and ask for more data.</p>
<p>If a <a href="#class-streamreadable"><code>Readable</code></a> is switched into flowing mode and there are no consumers
available to handle the data, that data will be lost. This can occur, for
instance, when the <code>readable.resume()</code> method is called without a listener
attached to the <code>'data'</code> event, or when a <code>'data'</code> event handler is removed
from the stream.</p>
<p>Adding a <a href="#event-readable"><code>'readable'</code></a> event handler automatically makes the stream
stop flowing, and the data has to be consumed via
<a href="#readablereadsize"><code>readable.read()</code></a>. If the <a href="#event-readable"><code>'readable'</code></a> event handler is
removed, then the stream will start flowing again if there is a
<a href="#event-data"><code>'data'</code></a> event handler.</p>
<h5>Three states<span><a class="mark" href="#three-states" id="three-states">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="stream_three_states"></a></h5>
<p>The "two modes" of operation for a <code>Readable</code> stream are a simplified
abstraction for the more complicated internal state management that is happening
within the <code>Readable</code> stream implementation.</p>
<p>Specifically, at any given point in time, every <code>Readable</code> is in one of three
possible states:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>readable.readableFlowing === null</code></li>
<li><code>readable.readableFlowing === false</code></li>
<li><code>readable.readableFlowing === true</code></li>
</ul>
<p>When <code>readable.readableFlowing</code> is <code>null</code>, no mechanism for consuming the
stream's data is provided. Therefore, the stream will not generate data.
While in this state, attaching a listener for the <code>'data'</code> event, calling the
<code>readable.pipe()</code> method, or calling the <code>readable.resume()</code> method will switch
<code>readable.readableFlowing</code> to <code>true</code>, causing the <code>Readable</code> to begin actively

<p>The <code>Readable</code> stream API evolved across multiple Node.js versions and provides
multiple methods of consuming stream data. In general, developers should choose
<em>one</em> of the methods of consuming data and <em>should never</em> use multiple methods
to consume data from a single stream. Specifically, using a combination
of <code>on('data')</code>, <code>on('readable')</code>, <code>pipe()</code>, or async iterators could
lead to unintuitive behavior.</p>

<p>The <code>'readable'</code> event is emitted when there is data available to be read from
the stream, up to the configured high water mark (<code>state.highWaterMark</code>). Effectively,
it indicates that the stream has new information within the buffer. If data is available
within this buffer, <a href="#readablereadsize"><code>stream.read()</code></a> can be called to retrieve that data.
Additionally, the <code>'readable'</code> event may also be emitted when the end of the stream has been
reached.</p>

<p>In some cases, attaching a listener for the <code>'readable'</code> event will cause some

<p>In general, the <code>readable.pipe()</code> and <code>'data'</code> event mechanisms are easier to

result in increased throughput.</p>
<p>If both <code>'readable'</code> and <a href="#event-data"><code>'data'</code></a> are used at the same time, <code>'readable'</code>
takes precedence in controlling the flow, i.e. <code>'data'</code> will be emitted
only when <a href="#readablereadsize"><code>stream.read()</code></a> is called. The
<code>readableFlowing</code> property would become <code>false</code>.
If there are <code>'data'</code> listeners when <code>'readable'</code> is removed, the stream
will start flowing, i.e. <code>'data'</code>Â events will be emitted without calling

<p>It is possible to attach multiple <code>Writable</code> streams to a single <code>Readable</code>

<p>The <code>readable.pipe()</code> method returns a reference to the <em>destination</em> stream

<p>One important caveat is that if the <code>Readable</code> stream emits an error during

<p>Each call to <code>readable.read()</code> returns a chunk of data or <code>null</code>, signifying
that there's no more data to read at that moment. These chunks aren't automatically
concatenated. Because a single <code>read()</code> call does not return all the data, using
a while loop may be necessary to continuously read chunks until all data is retrieved.
When reading a large file, <code>.read()</code> might return <code>null</code> temporarily, indicating
that it has consumed all buffered content but there may be more data yet to be
buffered. In such cases, a new <code>'readable'</code> event is emitted once there's more
data in the buffer, and the <code>'end'</code> event signifies the end of data transmission.</p>
<p>Therefore to read a file's whole contents from a <code>readable</code>, it is necessary
to collect chunks across multiple <code>'readable'</code> events:</p>
<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-keyword">const</span> chunks = [];

<p>A <code>Readable</code> stream in object mode will always return a single item from

string format.</p>

<p>Passing <code>chunk</code> as <code>null</code> signals the end of the stream (EOF) and behaves the

flushed.</p>
<p>The <code>readable.unshift()</code> method pushes a chunk of data back into the internal

<p>Unlike <a href="#readablepushchunk-encoding"><code>stream.push(chunk)</code></a>, <code>stream.unshift(chunk)</code> will not
end the reading process by resetting the internal reading state of the stream.
This can cause unexpected results if <code>readable.unshift()</code> is called during a

custom stream). Following the call to <code>readable.unshift()</code> with an immediate
<a href="#readablepushchunk-encoding"><code>stream.push('')</code></a> will reset the reading state appropriately,
however it is best to simply avoid calling <code>readable.unshift()</code> while in the

<p>If the loop terminates with a <code>break</code>, <code>return</code>, or a <code>throw</code>, the stream will
be destroyed. In other terms, iterating over a stream will consume the stream
fully. The stream will be read in chunks of size equal to the <code>highWaterMark</code>
option. In the code example above, data will be in a single chunk if the file
has less then 64 KiB of data because no <code>highWaterMark</code> option is provided to

<p>Duplex streams are streams that implement both the <a href="#class-streamreadable"><code>Readable</code></a> and
<a href="#class-streamwritable"><code>Writable</code></a> interfaces.</p>
<p>Examples of <code>Duplex</code> streams include:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="net.html#class-netsocket">TCP sockets</a></li>

<p>If <code>false</code> then the stream will automatically end the writable side when the
readable side ends. Set initially by the <code>allowHalfOpen</code> constructor option,
which defaults to <code>true</code>.</p>
<p>This can be changed manually to change the half-open behavior of an existing

<p>Destroy the stream, and optionally emit an <code>'error'</code> event. After this call, the
transform stream would release any internal resources.
Implementors should not override this method, but instead implement
<a href="#readable_destroyerr-callback"><code>readable._destroy()</code></a>.
The default implementation of <code>_destroy()</code> for <code>Transform</code> also emit <code>'close'</code>
unless <code>emitClose</code> is set in false.</p>
<p>Once <code>destroy()</code> has been called, any further calls will be a no-op and no

<p>Whatever is written to one stream is made readable on the other. It provides

becomes readable by the server, and vice-versa.</p>
<p>The Duplex streams are symmetrical; one or the other may be used without any
difference in behavior.</p>

<p><code>stream.pipeline()</code> will call <code>stream.destroy(err)</code> on all streams except:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>Readable</code> streams which have emitted <code>'end'</code> or <code>'close'</code>.</li>
<li><code>Writable</code> streams which have emitted <code>'finish'</code> or <code>'close'</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p><code>stream.pipeline()</code> leaves dangling event listeners on the streams
after the <code>callback</code> has been invoked. In the case of reuse of streams after
failure, this can cause event listener leaks and swallowed errors. If the last
stream is readable, dangling event listeners will be removed so that the last
stream can be consumed later.</p>
<p><code>stream.pipeline()</code> closes all the streams when an error is raised.
The <code>IncomingRequest</code> usage with <code>pipeline</code> could lead to an unexpected behavior
once it would destroy the socket without sending the expected response.

<p>Combines two or more streams into a <code>Duplex</code> stream that writes to the
first stream and reads from the last. Each provided stream is piped into
the next, using <code>stream.pipeline</code>. If any of the streams error then all
are destroyed, including the outer <code>Duplex</code> stream.</p>
<p>Because <code>stream.compose</code> returns a new stream that in turn can (and
should) be piped into other streams, it enables composition. In contrast,
when passing streams to <code>stream.pipeline</code>, typically the first stream is
a readable stream and the last a writable stream, forming a closed
circuit.</p>

<p>A utility method for creating duplex streams.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>Stream</code> converts writable stream into writable <code>Duplex</code> and readable stream
to <code>Duplex</code>.</li>
<li><code>Blob</code> converts into readable <code>Duplex</code>.</li>
<li><code>string</code> converts into readable <code>Duplex</code>.</li>
<li><code>ArrayBuffer</code> converts into readable <code>Duplex</code>.</li>
<li><code>AsyncIterable</code> converts into a readable <code>Duplex</code>. Cannot yield
<code>null</code>.</li>
<li><code>AsyncGeneratorFunction</code> converts into a readable/writable transform
<code>Duplex</code>. Must take a source <code>AsyncIterable</code> as first parameter. Cannot yield
<code>null</code>.</li>
<li><code>AsyncFunction</code> converts into a writable <code>Duplex</code>. Must return
either <code>null</code> or <code>undefined</code></li>
<li><code>Object ({ writable, readable })</code> converts <code>readable</code> and
<code>writable</code> into <code>Stream</code> and then combines them into <code>Duplex</code> where the
<code>Duplex</code> will write to the <code>writable</code> and read from the <code>readable</code>.</li>
<li><code>Promise</code> converts into readable <code>Duplex</code>. Value <code>null</code> is ignored.</li>
<li><code>ReadableStream</code> converts into readable <code>Duplex</code>.</li>
<li><code>WritableStream</code> converts into writable <code>Duplex</code>.</li>
<li>Returns: <a href="stream.html#class-streamduplex" class="type"><stream.Duplex></a></li>
</ul>
<p>If an <code>Iterable</code> object containing promises is passed as an argument,
it might result in unhandled rejection.</p>

<p>The <code>node:stream</code> module API has been designed to make it possible to easily
implement streams using JavaScript's prototypal inheritance model.</p>
<p>First, a stream developer would declare a new JavaScript class that extends one
of the four basic stream classes (<code>stream.Writable</code>, <code>stream.Readable</code>,
<code>stream.Duplex</code>, or <code>stream.Transform</code>), making sure they call the appropriate
parent class constructor:</p>
<!-- eslint-disable no-useless-constructor -->
<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-keyword">const</span> { <span class="hljs-title class_">Writable</span> } = <span class="hljs-built_in">require</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'node:stream'</span>);
<span class="hljs-keyword">class</span> <span class="hljs-title class_">MyWritable</span> <span class="hljs-keyword">extends</span> <span class="hljs-title class_ inherited__">Writable</span> {
<span class="hljs-title function_">constructor</span>(<span class="hljs-params">{ highWaterMark, ...options }</span>) {
<span class="hljs-variable language_">super</span>({ highWaterMark });
<span class="hljs-comment">// ...</span>
}
}</code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
<p>When extending streams, keep in mind what options the user
can and should provide before forwarding these to the base constructor. For
example, if the implementation makes assumptions in regard to the
<code>autoDestroy</code> and <code>emitClose</code> options, do not allow the
user to override these. Be explicit about what
options are forwarded instead of implicitly forwarding all options.</p>
<p>The new stream class must then implement one or more specific methods, depending
on the type of stream being created, as detailed in the chart below:</p>
<table><thead><tr><th>Use-case</th><th>Class</th><th>Method(s) to implement</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Reading only</td><td><a href="#class-streamreadable"><code>Readable</code></a></td><td><a href="#readable_readsize"><code>_read()</code></a></td></tr><tr><td>Writing only</td><td><a href="#class-streamwritable"><code>Writable</code></a></td><td><a href="#writable_writechunk-encoding-callback"><code>_write()</code></a>, <a href="#writable_writevchunks-callback"><code>_writev()</code></a>, <a href="#writable_finalcallback"><code>_final()</code></a></td></tr><tr><td>Reading and writing</td><td><a href="#class-streamduplex"><code>Duplex</code></a></td><td><a href="#readable_readsize"><code>_read()</code></a>, <a href="#writable_writechunk-encoding-callback"><code>_write()</code></a>, <a href="#writable_writevchunks-callback"><code>_writev()</code></a>, <a href="#writable_finalcallback"><code>_final()</code></a></td></tr><tr><td>Operate on written data, then read the result</td><td><a href="#class-streamtransform"><code>Transform</code></a></td><td><a href="#transform_transformchunk-encoding-callback"><code>_transform()</code></a>, <a href="#transform_flushcallback"><code>_flush()</code></a>, <a href="#writable_finalcallback"><code>_final()</code></a></td></tr></tbody></table>
<p>The implementation code for a stream should <em>never</em> call the "public" methods
of a stream that are intended for use by consumers (as described in the
<a href="#api-for-stream-consumers">API for stream consumers</a> section). Doing so may lead to adverse side effects
in application code consuming the stream.</p>
<p>Avoid overriding public methods such as <code>write()</code>, <code>end()</code>, <code>cork()</code>,
<code>uncork()</code>, <code>read()</code> and <code>destroy()</code>, or emitting internal events such
as <code>'error'</code>, <code>'data'</code>, <code>'end'</code>, <code>'finish'</code> and <code>'close'</code> through <code>.emit()</code>.
Doing so can break current and future stream invariants leading to behavior
and/or compatibility issues with other streams, stream utilities, and user
expectations.</p>

<p>All <code>Writable</code> stream implementations must provide a

<a href="#writable_writevchunks-callback"><code>writable._writev()</code></a> method to send data to the underlying

<p><a href="#class-streamtransform"><code>Transform</code></a> streams provide their own implementation of the

<p>This function MUST NOT be called by application code directly. It should be
implemented by child classes, and called by the internal <code>Writable</code> class

<p>The <code>callback</code> function must be called synchronously inside of
<code>writable._write()</code> or asynchronously (i.e. different tick) to signal either
that the write completed successfully or failed with an error.
The first argument passed to the <code>callback</code> must be the <code>Error</code> object if the
call failed or <code>null</code> if the write succeeded.</p>
<p>All calls to <code>writable.write()</code> that occur between the time <code>writable._write()</code>
is called and the <code>callback</code> is called will cause the written data to be
buffered. When the <code>callback</code> is invoked, the stream might emit a <a href="#event-drain"><code>'drain'</code></a>
event. If a stream implementation is capable of processing multiple chunks of
data at once, the <code>writable._writev()</code> method should be implemented.</p>
<p>If the <code>decodeStrings</code> property is explicitly set to <code>false</code> in the constructor
options, then <code>chunk</code> will remain the same object that is passed to <code>.write()</code>,
and may be a string rather than a <code>Buffer</code>. This is to support implementations
that have an optimized handling for certain string data encodings. In that case,
the <code>encoding</code> argument will indicate the character encoding of the string.
Otherwise, the <code>encoding</code> argument can be safely ignored.</p>

internal to the class that defines it, and should never be called directly by
user programs.</p>

</ul>
<p>This function MUST NOT be called by application code directly. It should be
implemented by child classes, and called by the internal <code>Readable</code> class
methods only.</p>
<p>All <code>Readable</code> stream implementations must provide an implementation of the
<a href="#readable_readsize"><code>readable._read()</code></a> method to fetch data from the underlying resource.</p>
<p>When <a href="#readable_readsize"><code>readable._read()</code></a> is called, if data is available from the resource,
the implementation should begin pushing that data into the read queue using the
<a href="#readablepushchunk-encoding"><code>this.push(dataChunk)</code></a> method. <code>_read()</code> will be called again
after each call to <a href="#readablepushchunk-encoding"><code>this.push(dataChunk)</code></a> once the stream is
ready to accept more data. <code>_read()</code> may continue reading from the resource and
pushing data until <code>readable.push()</code> returns <code>false</code>. Only when <code>_read()</code> is
called again after it has stopped should it resume pushing additional data into
the queue.</p>
<p>Once the <a href="#readable_readsize"><code>readable._read()</code></a> method has been called, it will not be called
again until more data is pushed through the <a href="#readablepushchunk-encoding"><code>readable.push()</code></a>
method. Empty data such as empty buffers and strings will not cause
<a href="#readable_readsize"><code>readable._read()</code></a> to be called.</p>
<p>The <code>size</code> argument is advisory. For implementations where a "read" is a
single operation that returns data can use the <code>size</code> argument to determine how
much data to fetch. Other implementations may ignore this argument and simply
provide data whenever it becomes available. There is no need to "wait" until
<code>size</code> bytes are available before calling <a href="#readablepushchunk-encoding"><code>stream.push(chunk)</code></a>.</p>
<p>The <a href="#readable_readsize"><code>readable._read()</code></a> method is prefixed with an underscore because it is
internal to the class that defines it, and should never be called directly by
user programs.</p>

<p>A <a href="#class-streamduplex"><code>Duplex</code></a> stream is one that implements both <a href="#class-streamreadable"><code>Readable</code></a> and
<a href="#class-streamwritable"><code>Writable</code></a>, such as a TCP socket connection.</p>
<p>Because JavaScript does not have support for multiple inheritance, the
<code>stream.Duplex</code> class is extended to implement a <a href="#class-streamduplex"><code>Duplex</code></a> stream (as opposed
to extending the <code>stream.Readable</code> <em>and</em> <code>stream.Writable</code> classes).</p>
<p>The <code>stream.Duplex</code> class prototypically inherits from <code>stream.Readable</code> and
parasitically from <code>stream.Writable</code>, but <code>instanceof</code> will work properly for
both base classes due to overriding <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Symbol/hasInstance"><code>Symbol.hasInstance</code></a> on
<code>stream.Writable</code>.</p>
<p>Custom <code>Duplex</code> streams <em>must</em> call the <code>new stream.Duplex([options])</code>
constructor and implement <em>both</em> the <a href="#readable_readsize"><code>readable._read()</code></a> and
<code>writable._write()</code> methods.</p>

<p>A <a href="#class-streamtransform"><code>Transform</code></a> stream is a <a href="#class-streamduplex"><code>Duplex</code></a> stream where the output is computed

<p>There is no requirement that the output be the same size as the input, the same
number of chunks, or arrive at the same time. For example, a <code>Hash</code> stream will
only ever have a single chunk of output which is provided when the input is
ended. A <code>zlib</code> stream will produce output that is either much smaller or much

<p>The <code>stream.Transform</code> class is extended to implement a <a href="#class-streamtransform"><code>Transform</code></a> stream.</p>
<p>The <code>stream.Transform</code> class prototypically inherits from <code>stream.Duplex</code> and

<p>In some cases, a transform operation may need to emit an additional bit of

store an amount of internal state used to optimally compress the output. When
the stream ends, however, that additional data needs to be flushed so that the
compressed data will be complete.</p>
<p>Custom <a href="#class-streamtransform"><code>Transform</code></a> implementations <em>may</em> implement the <code>transform._flush()</code>

<p>Within the <code>transform._flush()</code> implementation, the <code>transform.push()</code> method

the chunk will not be converted & will be whatever was passed to
<a href="#writablewritechunk-encoding-callback"><code>stream.write()</code></a>.</li>
<li><code>encoding</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#String_type" class="type"><string></a> If the chunk is a string, then this is the
encoding type. If chunk is a buffer, then this is the special
value <code>'buffer'</code>. Ignore it in that case.</li>
<li><code>callback</code> <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Function" class="type"><Function></a> A callback function (optionally with an error
argument and data) to be called after the supplied <code>chunk</code> has been
processed.</li>
</ul>
<p>This function MUST NOT be called by application code directly. It should be
implemented by child classes, and called by the internal <code>Readable</code> class
methods only.</p>
<p>All <code>Transform</code> stream implementations must provide a <code>_transform()</code>
method to accept input and produce output. The <code>transform._transform()</code>
implementation handles the bytes being written, computes an output, then passes
that output off to the readable portion using the <code>transform.push()</code> method.</p>
<p>The <code>transform.push()</code> method may be called zero or more times to generate
output from a single input chunk, depending on how much is to be output
as a result of the chunk.</p>
<p>It is possible that no output is generated from any given chunk of input data.</p>
<p>The <code>callback</code> function must be called only when the current chunk is completely
consumed. The first argument passed to the <code>callback</code> must be an <code>Error</code> object
if an error occurred while processing the input or <code>null</code> otherwise. If a second
argument is passed to the <code>callback</code>, it will be forwarded on to the
<code>transform.push()</code> method, but only if the first argument is falsy. In other
words, the following are equivalent:</p>
<pre><code class="language-js">transform.<span class="hljs-property"><span class="hljs-keyword">prototype</span></span>.<span class="hljs-property">_transform</span> = <span class="hljs-keyword">function</span>(<span class="hljs-params">data, encoding, callback</span>) {

<span class="hljs-title function_">callback</span>(<span class="hljs-literal">null</span>, data);
};</code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
<p>The <code>transform._transform()</code> method is prefixed with an underscore because it
is internal to the class that defines it, and should never be called directly by
user programs.</p>
<p><code>transform._transform()</code> is never called in parallel; streams implement a
queue mechanism, and to receive the next chunk, <code>callback</code> must be
called, either synchronously or asynchronously.</p>

<p>The <code>stream.PassThrough</code> class is a trivial implementation of a <a href="#class-streamtransform"><code>Transform</code></a>
stream that simply passes the input bytes across to the output. Its purpose is
primarily for examples and testing, but there are some use cases where

<h4>Compatibility with older Node.js versions<span><a class="mark" href="#compatibility-with-older-nodejs-versions" id="compatibility-with-older-nodejs-versions">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="stream_compatibility_with_older_node_js_versions"></a></h4>
<p>Prior to Node.js 0.10, the <code>Readable</code> stream interface was simpler, but also
less powerful and less useful.</p>
<ul>
<li>Rather than waiting for calls to the <a href="#readablereadsize"><code>stream.read()</code></a> method,
<a href="#event-data"><code>'data'</code></a> events would begin emitting immediately. Applications that
would need to perform some amount of work to decide how to handle data
were required to store read data into buffers so the data would not be lost.</li>
<li>The <a href="#readablepause"><code>stream.pause()</code></a> method was advisory, rather than
guaranteed. This meant that it was still necessary to be prepared to receive
<a href="#event-data"><code>'data'</code></a> events <em>even when the stream was in a paused state</em>.</li>
</ul>
<p>In Node.js 0.10, the <a href="#class-streamreadable"><code>Readable</code></a> class was added. For backward
compatibility with older Node.js programs, <code>Readable</code> streams switch into
"flowing mode" when a <a href="#event-data"><code>'data'</code></a> event handler is added, or when the
<a href="#readableresume"><code>stream.resume()</code></a> method is called. The effect is that, even
when not using the new <a href="#readablereadsize"><code>stream.read()</code></a> method and
<a href="#event-readable"><code>'readable'</code></a> event, it is no longer necessary to worry about losing
<a href="#event-data"><code>'data'</code></a> chunks.</p>
<p>While most applications will continue to function normally, this introduces an
edge case in the following conditions:</p>
<ul>
<li>No <a href="#event-data"><code>'data'</code></a> event listener is added.</li>
<li>The <a href="#readableresume"><code>stream.resume()</code></a> method is never called.</li>
<li>The stream is not piped to any writable destination.</li>
</ul>
<p>For example, consider the following code:</p>
<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-comment">// WARNING! BROKEN!</span>
net.<span class="hljs-title function_">createServer</span>(<span class="hljs-function">(<span class="hljs-params">socket</span>) =></span> {
<span class="hljs-comment">// We add an 'end' listener, but never consume the data.</span>
socket.<span class="hljs-title function_">on</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'end'</span>, <span class="hljs-function">() =></span> {
<span class="hljs-comment">// It will never get here.</span>
socket.<span class="hljs-title function_">end</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'The message was received but was not processed.\n'</span>);
});
}).<span class="hljs-title function_">listen</span>(<span class="hljs-number">1337</span>);</code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
<p>Prior to Node.js 0.10, the incoming message data would be simply discarded.
However, in Node.js 0.10 and beyond, the socket remains paused forever.</p>
<p>The workaround in this situation is to call the
<a href="#readableresume"><code>stream.resume()</code></a> method to begin the flow of data:</p>
<pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-comment">// Workaround.</span>
net.<span class="hljs-title function_">createServer</span>(<span class="hljs-function">(<span class="hljs-params">socket</span>) =></span> {
socket.<span class="hljs-title function_">on</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'end'</span>, <span class="hljs-function">() =></span> {
socket.<span class="hljs-title function_">end</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'The message was received but was not processed.\n'</span>);
});
<span class="hljs-comment">// Start the flow of data, discarding it.</span>
socket.<span class="hljs-title function_">resume</span>();
}).<span class="hljs-title function_">listen</span>(<span class="hljs-number">1337</span>);</code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre>
<p>In addition to new <code>Readable</code> streams switching into flowing mode,
pre-0.10 style streams can be wrapped in a <code>Readable</code> class using the
<a href="#readablewrapstream"><code>readable.wrap()</code></a> method.</p>
<h4><code>readable.read(0)</code><span><a class="mark" href="#readableread0" id="readableread0">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="stream_readable_read_0"></a></h4>
<p>There are some cases where it is necessary to trigger a refresh of the
underlying readable stream mechanisms, without actually consuming any
data. In such cases, it is possible to call <code>readable.read(0)</code>, which will
always return <code>null</code>.</p>
<p>If the internal read buffer is below the <code>highWaterMark</code>, and the
stream is not currently reading, then calling <code>stream.read(0)</code> will trigger
a low-level <a href="#readable_readsize"><code>stream._read()</code></a> call.</p>
<p>While most applications will almost never need to do this, there are
situations within Node.js where this is done, particularly in the
<code>Readable</code> stream class internals.</p>
<h4><code>readable.push('')</code><span><a class="mark" href="#readablepush" id="readablepush">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="stream_readable_push"></a></h4>
<p>Use of <code>readable.push('')</code> is not recommended.</p>
<p>Pushing a zero-byte <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures#String_type" class="type"><string></a>, <a href="buffer.html#class-buffer" class="type"><Buffer></a>, <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/TypedArray" class="type"><TypedArray></a> or <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/DataView" class="type"><DataView></a> to a stream
that is not in object mode has an interesting side effect.
Because it <em>is</em> a call to
<a href="#readablepushchunk-encoding"><code>readable.push()</code></a>, the call will end the reading process.
However, because the argument is an empty string, no data is added to the
readable buffer so there is nothing for a user to consume.</p>
<h4><code>highWaterMark</code> discrepancy after calling <code>readable.setEncoding()</code><span><a class="mark" href="#highwatermark-discrepancy-after-calling-readablesetencoding" id="highwatermark-discrepancy-after-calling-readablesetencoding">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="stream_highwatermark_discrepancy_after_calling_readable_setencoding"></a></h4>
<p>The use of <code>readable.setEncoding()</code> will change the behavior of how the
<code>highWaterMark</code> operates in non-object mode.</p>
<p>Typically, the size of the current buffer is measured against the
<code>highWaterMark</code> in <em>bytes</em>. However, after <code>setEncoding()</code> is called, the
comparison function will begin to measure the buffer's size in <em>characters</em>.</p>
<p>This is not a problem in common cases with <code>latin1</code> or <code>ascii</code>. But it is
advised to be mindful about this behavior when working with strings that could
contain multi-byte characters.</p></section>
