If you call [`ReactDOM.render()`](/react/docs/react-dom.html#render) on a node that already has this server-rendered markup, React will preserve it and only attach event handlers, allowing you to have a very performant first-load experience.
Note that the stream returned from this method will return a byte stream encoded in utf-8. If you need a stream in another encoding, take a look a project like [iconv-lite](https://www.npmjs.com/package/iconv-lite), which provides transform streams for transcoding text.
