***Node-core streams for userland***
This package is a mirror of the Streams2 and Streams3 implementations in
Node-core, including [documentation ](doc/stream.markdown ).
If you want to guarantee a stable streams base, regardless of what version of
Node you, or the users of your libraries are using, use **readable-stream** *only* and avoid the *"stream"* module in Node-core, for background see [this blogpost ](http://r.va.gg/2014/06/why-i-dont-use-nodes-core-stream-module.html ).
As of version 2.0.0 **readable-stream** uses semantic versioning.
