PipeStreams

PipeStreams use pull-streams as infrastructure to realize rather performant streaming in NodeJS. The main purpose for PipeStreams is to facilitate the building of streaming applications; in other words: to provide a simple and clear API to minimize mental overhead.

While PipeStreams as such are not directly compatible with 'classical' NodeJS push-style streams, one can always interface the two using a number of adaptors to maintain interoperability.

PipeStreams encourages and simplifies the use of classical command line (shell/bash) tools to boost performance.
