Node v16.5.0 (Current)

Notable Changes

Experimental Web Streams API

Node.js now exposes an experimental implementation of the Web Streams API.

While it is experimental, the API is not exposed on the global object and is only accessible using the new stream/web core module:

import { ReadableStream, WritableStream } from 'stream/web';
// Or from 'node:stream/web'

Importing the module will emit a single experimental warning per process.

The raw API is implemented and we are now working on its integration with various existing core APIs.
