Web/WhatWG Streams API Support
Currently, this library supports the legacy NodeJS streams API (see https://github.com/kriszyp/cbor-x?tab=readme-ov-file#streams), but not the newer Web/WhatWG streams API (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Streams_API). While it is possible on NodeJS to convert from the legacy API to the the new web streams API with Readable.toWeb()
/Writable.toWeb()
, neither of these APIs are available in the browser, making it hard to use cbor-x
's streaming decode/encode support correctly (with support for backpressure etc.) when reading from a Readable
stream such as a fetch
request body or a WebTransport stream.
Adding support for this new (and arguable simpler to implement) streams API natively would greatly simplify this library's use in the browser.
