get-stream simplifies reading streams into strings or buffers. It efficiently consumes streams, handling backpressure correctly, and gracefully handles errors. Offering promise-based and callback-based approaches, get-stream provides flexible control. Ideal for processing data from files, HTTP responses, or any readable stream, it prevents memory issues when dealing with large data volumes by leveraging streaming mechanisms. A lightweight dependency ensures minimal overhead in your projects.
