602<p>An implementation of the <a href="https://streams.spec.whatwg.org/">WHATWG Streams Standard</a>.</p>
603<section><h3>Overview<span><a class="mark" href="#overview" id="overview">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="webstreams_overview"></a></h3>
604<p>The <a href="https://streams.spec.whatwg.org/">WHATWG Streams Standard</a> (or "web streams") defines an API for handling
605streaming data. It is similar to the Node.js <a href="stream.html">Streams</a> API but emerged later
606and has become the "standard" API for streaming data across many JavaScript
607environments.</p>
608<p>There are three primary types of objects:</p>
609<ul>
610<li><code>ReadableStream</code> - Represents a source of streaming data.</li>
611<li><code>WritableStream</code> - Represents a destination for streaming data.</li>
612<li><code>TransformStream</code> - Represents an algorithm for transforming streaming data.</li>
613</ul>
614<h4>Example <code>ReadableStream</code><span><a class="mark" href="#example-readablestream" id="example-readablestream">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="webstreams_example_readablestream"></a></h4>
615<p>This example creates a simple <code>ReadableStream</code> that pushes the current
616<code>performance.now()</code> timestamp once every second forever. An async iterable
617is used to read the data from the stream.</p>
