stream-buffers provides stream implementations for reading from and writing to in-memory buffers. The ReadableStreamBuffer allows reading data from a buffer as a stream, while WritableStreamBuffer accumulates stream data into a buffer. This is particularly useful for processing data in chunks without needing to manage file I/O or network connections during development and testing. Supports control over buffer size and growth. It's beneficial for unit testing stream-based code and simulating stream behavior.
