into-stream is a lightweight Node.js package that simplifies the process of converting various data sources into readable streams. It accepts strings, buffers, arrays, and even objects, automatically transforming them into streams suitable for piping and further processing. This eliminates the need to manually create stream instances and handle different data types, making it ideal for scenarios requiring flexible data ingestion and manipulation within streaming pipelines. Its simple API and small footprint contribute to cleaner and more maintainable code.
