<h2 id="intro">Introduction</h2>

<div class="non-normative">

<em>This section is non-normative.</em>

Large swathes of the web platform are built on streaming data: that is, data that is created,
processed, and consumed in an incremental fashion, without ever reading all of it into memory. The
Streams Standard provides a common set of APIs for creating and interfacing with such streaming
data, embodied in [=readable streams=], [=writable streams=], and [=transform streams=].

These APIs have been designed to efficiently map to low-level I/O primitives, including
specializations for byte streams where appropriate. They allow easy composition of multiple streams
into [=pipe chains=], or can be used directly via [=/readers=] and [=writers=]. Finally, they are
designed to automatically provide [=backpressure=] and queuing.

This standard provides the base stream primitives which other parts of the web platform can use to
expose their streaming data. For example, [[FETCH]] exposes {{Response}} bodies as
{{ReadableStream}} instances. More generally, the platform is full of streaming abstractions waiting
to be expressed as streams: multimedia streams, file streams, inter-global communication, and more
benefit from being able to process data incrementally instead of buffering it all into memory and
processing it in one go. By providing the foundation for these streams to be exposed to developers,
the Streams Standard enables use cases like:

* Video effects: piping a readable video stream through a transform stream that applies effects in
  real time.
* Decompression: piping a file stream through a transform stream that selectively decompresses files
  from a <kbd>.tgz</kbd> archive, turning them into <{img}> elements as the user scrolls through an
  image gallery.
* Image decoding: piping an HTTP response stream through a transform stream that decodes bytes into
  bitmap data, and then through another transform that translates bitmaps into PNGs. If installed
  inside the {{ServiceWorkerGlobalScope/fetch}} hook of a service worker, this would allow
  developers to transparently polyfill new image formats. [[SERVICE-WORKERS]]

Web developers can also use the APIs described here to create their own streams, with the same APIs
as those provided by the platform. Other developers can then transparently compose platform-provided
streams with those supplied by libraries. In this way, the APIs described here provide unifying
abstraction for all streams, encouraging an ecosystem to grow around these shared and composable
interfaces.

</div>

<h2 id="model">Model</h2>

A <dfn export>chunk</dfn> is a single piece of data that is written to or read from a stream. It can
be of any type; streams can even contain chunks of different types. A chunk will often not be the
most atomic unit of data for a given stream; for example a byte stream might contain chunks
consisting of 16 KiB {{Uint8Array}}s, instead of single bytes.

<h3 id="rs-model">Readable streams</h3>

A <dfn export>readable stream</dfn> represents a source of data, from which you can read. In other
words, data comes
<em>out</em> of a readable stream. Concretely, a readable stream is an instance of the
{{ReadableStream}} class.

Although a readable stream can be created with arbitrary behavior, most readable streams wrap a
lower-level I/O source, called the <dfn>underlying source</dfn>. There are two types of underlying
source: push sources and pull sources.

<dfn lt="push source">Push sources</dfn> push data at you, whether or not you are listening for it.
They may also provide a mechanism for pausing and resuming the flow of data. An example push source
is a TCP socket, where data is constantly being pushed from the OS level, at a rate that can be
controlled by changing the TCP window size.

<dfn lt="pull source">Pull sources</dfn> require you to request data from them. The data may be
available synchronously, e.g. if it is held by the operating system's in-memory buffers, or
asynchronously, e.g. if it has to be read from disk. An example pull source is a file handle, where
you seek to specific locations and read specific amounts.

Readable streams are designed to wrap both types of sources behind a single, unified interface. For
web developer–created streams, the implementation details of a source are provided by <a
href="#underlying-source-api">an object with certain methods and properties</a> that is passed to
the {{ReadableStream()}} constructor.

[=Chunks=] are enqueued into the stream by the stream's [=underlying source=]. They can then be read
one at a time via the stream's public interface, in particular by using a [=readable stream reader=]
acquired using the stream's {{ReadableStream/getReader()}} method.

Code that reads from a readable stream using its public interface is known as a <dfn>consumer</dfn>.

Consumers also have the ability to <dfn lt="cancel a readable stream">cancel</dfn> a readable
stream, using its {{ReadableStream/cancel()}} method. This indicates that the consumer has lost
interest in the stream, and will immediately close the stream, throw away any queued [=chunks=], and
execute any cancellation mechanism of the [=underlying source=].

Consumers can also <dfn lt="tee a readable stream">tee</dfn> a readable stream using its
{{ReadableStream/tee()}} method. This will [=locked to a reader|lock=] the stream, making it
no longer directly usable; however, it will create two new streams, called <dfn lt="branches of a
readable stream tee">branches</dfn>, which can be consumed independently.

For streams representing bytes, an extended version of the [=readable stream=] is provided to handle
bytes efficiently, in particular by minimizing copies. The [=underlying source=] for such a readable
stream is called an <dfn>underlying byte source</dfn>. A readable stream whose underlying source is
an underlying byte source is sometimes called a <dfn export>readable byte stream</dfn>. Consumers of
a readable byte stream can acquire a [=BYOB reader=] using the stream's
{{ReadableStream/getReader()}} method.

<h3 id="ws-model">Writable streams</h3>

A <dfn export>writable stream</dfn> represents a destination for data, into which you can write. In
other words, data goes <em>in</em> to a writable stream. Concretely, a writable stream is an
instance of the {{WritableStream}} class.

Analogously to readable streams, most writable streams wrap a lower-level I/O sink, called the
<dfn>underlying sink</dfn>. Writable streams work to abstract away some of the complexity of the
underlying sink, by queuing subsequent writes and only delivering them to the underlying sink one by
one.

[=Chunks=] are written to the stream via its public interface, and are passed one at a time to the
stream's [=underlying sink=]. For web developer-created streams, the implementation details of the
sink are provided by <a href="#underlying-sink-api">an object with certain methods</a> that is
passed to the {{WritableStream()}} constructor.

Code that writes into a writable stream using its public interface is known as a
<dfn>producer</dfn>.

Producers also have the ability to <dfn lt="abort a writable stream">abort</dfn> a writable stream,
using its {{WritableStream/abort()}} method. This indicates that the producer believes something has
gone wrong, and that future writes should be discontinued. It puts the stream in an errored state,
even without a signal from the [=underlying sink=], and it discards all writes in the stream's
[=internal queue=].

<h3 id="ts-model">Transform streams</h3>

A <dfn export>transform stream</dfn> consists of a pair of streams: a [=writable stream=], known as
its <dfn export>writable side</dfn>, and a [=readable stream=], known as its <dfn export>readable
side</dfn>. In a manner specific to the transform stream in question, writes to the writable side
result in new data being made available for reading from the readable side.

Concretely, any object with a <code>writable</code> property and a <code>readable</code> property
can serve as a transform stream. However, the standard {{TransformStream}} class makes it much
easier to create such a pair that is properly entangled. It wraps a <dfn>transformer</dfn>, which
defines algorithms for the specific transformation to be performed. For web developer–created
streams, the implementation details of a transformer are provided by <a href="#transformer-api">an
object with certain methods and properties</a> that is passed to the {{TransformStream()}}
constructor. Other specifications might use the {{GenericTransformStream}} mixin to create classes
with the same <code>writable</code>/<code>readable</code> property pair but other custom APIs
layered on top.

An <dfn export>identity transform stream</dfn> is a type of transform stream which forwards all
[=chunks=] written to its [=writable side=] to its [=readable side=], without any changes. This can
be useful in <a href="#example-transform-identity">a variety of scenarios</a>. By default, the
{{TransformStream}} constructor will create an identity transform stream, when no
{{Transformer/transform|transform()}} method is present on the [=transformer=] object.

Some examples of potential transform streams include:

* A GZIP compressor, to which uncompressed bytes are written and from which compressed bytes are
  read;
* A video decoder, to which encoded bytes are written and from which uncompressed video frames are
  read;
* A text decoder, to which bytes are written and from which strings are read;
* A CSV-to-JSON converter, to which strings representing lines of a CSV file are written and from
  which corresponding JavaScript objects are read.

<h3 id="pipe-chains">Pipe chains and backpressure</h3>

Streams are primarily used by <dfn>piping</dfn> them to each other. A readable stream can be piped
directly to a writable stream, using its {{ReadableStream/pipeTo()}} method, or it can be piped
through one or more transform streams first, using its {{ReadableStream/pipeThrough()}} method.

A set of streams piped together in this way is referred to as a <dfn>pipe chain</dfn>. In a pipe
chain, the <dfn>original source</dfn> is the [=underlying source=] of the first readable stream in
the chain; the <dfn>ultimate sink</dfn> is the [=underlying sink=] of the final writable stream in
the chain.

Once a pipe chain is constructed, it will propagate signals regarding how fast [=chunks=] should
flow through it. If any step in the chain cannot yet accept chunks, it propagates a signal backwards
through the pipe chain, until eventually the original source is told to stop producing chunks so
fast. This process of normalizing flow from the original source according to how fast the chain can
process chunks is called <dfn>backpressure</dfn>.

Concretely, the [=original source=] is given the
{{ReadableStreamDefaultController/desiredSize|controller.desiredSize}} (or
{{ReadableByteStreamController/desiredSize|byteController.desiredSize}}) value, and can then adjust
its rate of data flow accordingly. This value is derived from the
{{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/desiredSize|writer.desiredSize}} corresponding to the [=ultimate
sink=], which gets updated as the ultimate sink finishes writing [=chunks=]. The
{{ReadableStream/pipeTo()}} method used to construct the chain automatically ensures this
information propagates back through the [=pipe chain=].

When [=tee a readable stream|teeing=] a readable stream, the [=backpressure=] signals from its two
[=branches of a readable stream tee|branches=] will aggregate, such that if neither branch is read
from, a backpressure signal will be sent to the [=underlying source=] of the original stream.

Piping [=locks=] the readable and writable streams, preventing them from being manipulated for the
duration of the pipe operation. This allows the implementation to perform important optimizations,
such as directly shuttling data from the underlying source to the underlying sink while bypassing
many of the intermediate queues.

<h3 id="queuing-strategies">Internal queues and queuing strategies</h3>

Both readable and writable streams maintain <dfn>internal queues</dfn>, which they use for similar
purposes. In the case of a readable stream, the internal queue contains [=chunks=] that have been
enqueued by the [=underlying source=], but not yet read by the consumer. In the case of a writable
stream, the internal queue contains [=chunks=] which have been written to the stream by the
producer, but not yet processed and acknowledged by the [=underlying sink=].

A <dfn>queuing strategy</dfn> is an object that determines how a stream should signal
[=backpressure=] based on the state of its [=internal queue=]. The queuing strategy assigns a size
to each [=chunk=], and compares the total size of all chunks in the queue to a specified number,
known as the <dfn export>high water mark</dfn>. The resulting difference, high water mark minus
total size, is used to determine the <dfn lt="desired size to fill a stream's internal
queue">desired size to fill the stream's queue</dfn>.

For readable streams, an underlying source can use this desired size as a backpressure signal,
slowing down chunk generation so as to try to keep the desired size above or at zero. For writable
streams, a producer can behave similarly, avoiding writes that would cause the desired size to go
negative.

<a href="#qs-api">Concretely</a>, a queuing strategy for web developer–created streams is given by
any JavaScript object with a {{QueuingStrategy/highWaterMark}} property. For byte streams the
{{QueuingStrategy/highWaterMark}} always has units of bytes. For other streams the default unit is
[=chunks=], but a {{QueuingStrategy/size|size()}} function can be included in the strategy object
which returns the size for a given chunk. This permits the {{QueuingStrategy/highWaterMark}} to be
specified in arbitrary floating-point units.
<!-- TODO: https://github.com/whatwg/streams/issues/427 -->

<div class="example" id="example-simple-queuing-strategy">
 A simple example of a queuing strategy would be one that assigns a size of one to each chunk, and
 has a high water mark of three. This would mean that up to three chunks could be enqueued in a
 readable stream, or three chunks written to a writable stream, before the streams are considered to
 be applying backpressure.

 In JavaScript, such a strategy could be written manually as <code highlight="js">{ highWaterMark:
 3, size() { return 1; }}</code>, or using the built-in {{CountQueuingStrategy}} class, as <code
 highlight="js">new CountQueuingStrategy({ highWaterMark: 3 })</code>.
</div>

<h3 id="locking">Locking</h3>

A <dfn lt="reader|readable stream reader">readable stream reader</dfn>, or simply reader, is an
object that allows direct reading of [=chunks=] from a [=readable stream=]. Without a reader, a
[=consumer=] can only perform high-level operations on the readable stream: [=cancel a readable
stream|canceling=] the stream, or [=piping=] the readable stream to a writable stream. A reader is
acquired via the stream's {{ReadableStream/getReader()}} method.

A [=readable byte stream=] has the ability to vend two types of readers: <dfn export lt="default
reader">default readers</dfn> and <dfn export lt="BYOB reader">BYOB readers</dfn>. BYOB ("bring your
own buffer") readers allow reading into a developer-supplied buffer, thus minimizing copies. A
non-byte readable stream can only vend default readers. Default readers are instances of the
{{ReadableStreamDefaultReader}} class, while BYOB readers are instances of
{{ReadableStreamBYOBReader}}.

Similarly, a <dfn export lt="writer|writable stream writer">writable stream writer</dfn>, or simply
writer, is an object that allows direct writing of [=chunks=] to a [=writable stream=]. Without a
writer, a [=producer=] can only perform the high-level operations of [=abort a writable
stream|aborting=] the stream or [=piping=] a readable stream to the writable stream. Writers are
represented by the {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter}} class.

<p class="note">Under the covers, these high-level operations actually use a reader or writer
themselves.</p>

A given readable or writable stream only has at most one reader or writer at a time. We say in this
case the stream is <dfn lt="lock|locked to a reader|locked to a writer">locked</dfn>, and that the
reader or writer is <dfn lt="active|active reader|active writer">active</dfn>. This state can be
determined using the {{ReadableStream/locked|readableStream.locked}} or
{{WritableStream/locked|writableStream.locked}} properties.

A reader or writer also has the capability to <dfn lt="release a lock|release a read lock|release a
write lock">release its lock</dfn>, which makes it no longer active, and allows further readers or
writers to be acquired. This is done via the
{{ReadableStreamDefaultReader/releaseLock()|defaultReader.releaseLock()}},
{{ReadableStreamBYOBReader/releaseLock()|byobReader.releaseLock()}}, or
{{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/releaseLock()|writer.releaseLock()}} method, as appropriate.

<h2 id="conventions">Conventions</h2>

This specification depends on the Infra Standard. [[!INFRA]]

This specification uses the [=abstract operation=] concept from the JavaScript specification for its
internal algorithms. This includes treating their return values as [=completion records=], and the
use of ! and ? prefixes for unwrapping those completion records. [[!ECMASCRIPT]]

This specification also uses the [=internal slot=] concept and notation from the JavaScript
specification. (Although, the internal slots are on Web IDL [=platform objects=] instead of on
JavaScript objects.)

<p class="note">The reasons for the usage of these foreign JavaScript specification conventions are
largely historical. We urge you to avoid following our example when writing your own web
specifications.

In this specification, all numbers are represented as double-precision 64-bit IEEE 754 floating
point values (like the JavaScript [=Number type=] or Web IDL {{unrestricted double}} type), and all
arithmetic operations performed on them must be done in the standard way for such values. This is
particularly important for the data structure described in [[#queue-with-sizes]]. [[!IEEE-754]]

<h2 id="rs">Readable streams</h2>

<h3 id="rs-intro">Using readable streams</h3>

<div class="example" id="example-basic-pipe-to">
 The simplest way to consume a readable stream is to simply [=piping|pipe=] it to a [=writable
 stream=]. This ensures that [=backpressure=] is respected, and any errors (either writing or
 reading) are propagated through the chain:

 <xmp highlight="js">
 readableStream.pipeTo(writableStream)
   .then(() => console.log("All data successfully written!"))
   .catch(e => console.error("Something went wrong!", e));
 </xmp>
</div>

<div class="example" id="example-pipe-as-chunks-receiver">
 If you simply want to be alerted of each new chunk from a readable stream, you can [=piping|pipe=]
 it to a new [=writable stream=] that you custom-create for that purpose:

 <xmp highlight="js">
 readableStream.pipeTo(new WritableStream({
   write(chunk) {
     console.log("Chunk received", chunk);
   },
   close() {
     console.log("All data successfully read!");
   },
   abort(e) {
     console.error("Something went wrong!", e);
   }
 }));
 </xmp>

 By returning promises from your {{UnderlyingSink/write|write()}} implementation, you can signal
 [=backpressure=] to the readable stream.
</div>

<div class="example" id="example-manual-read">
 Although readable streams will usually be used by piping them to a writable stream, you can also
 read them directly by acquiring a [=/reader=] and using its <code>read()</code> method to get
 successive chunks. For example, this code logs the next [=chunk=] in the stream, if available:

 <xmp highlight="js">
 const reader = readableStream.getReader();

 reader.read().then(
   ({ value, done }) => {
     if (done) {
       console.log("The stream was already closed!");
     } else {
       console.log(value);
     }
   },
   e => console.error("The stream became errored and cannot be read from!", e)
 );
 </xmp>

 This more manual method of reading a stream is mainly useful for library authors building new
 high-level operations on streams, beyond the provided ones of [=piping=] and [=tee a readable
 stream|teeing=].
</div>

<div class="example" id="example-manual-read-bytes">
 The above example showed using the readable stream's [=default reader=]. If the stream is a
 [=readable byte stream=], you can also acquire a [=BYOB reader=] for it, which allows more
 precise control over buffer allocation in order to avoid copies. For example, this code reads the
 first 1024 bytes from the stream into a single memory buffer:

 <xmp highlight="js">
 const reader = readableStream.getReader({ mode: "byob" });

 let startingAB = new ArrayBuffer(1024);
 const buffer = await readInto(startingAB);
 console.log("The first 1024 bytes: ", buffer);

 async function readInto(buffer) {
   let offset = 0;

   while (offset < buffer.byteLength) {
     const { value: view, done } =
      await reader.read(new Uint8Array(buffer, offset, buffer.byteLength - offset));
     buffer = view.buffer;
     if (done) {
       break;
     }
     offset += view.byteLength;
   }

   return buffer;
 }
 </xmp>

 An important thing to note here is that the final <code>buffer</code> value is different from the
 <code>startingAB</code>, but it (and all intermediate buffers) shares the same backing memory
 allocation. At each step, the buffer is <a href="#transfer-array-buffer">transferred</a> to a new
 {{ArrayBuffer}} object. The <code>view</code> is destructured from the return value of reading a
 new {{Uint8Array}}, with that {{ArrayBuffer}} object as its <code>buffer</code> property, the
 offset that bytes were written to as its <code>byteOffset</code> property, and the number of
 bytes that were written as its <code>byteLength</code> property.

 Note that this example is mostly educational. For practical purposes, the
 {{ReadableStreamBYOBReaderReadOptions/min}} option of {{ReadableStreamBYOBReader/read()}}
 provides an easier and more direct way to read an exact number of bytes:

 <xmp highlight="js">
 const reader = readableStream.getReader({ mode: "byob" });
 const { value: view, done } = await reader.read(new Uint8Array(1024), { min: 1024 });
 console.log("The first 1024 bytes: ", view);
 </xmp>
</div>

<h3 id="rs-class">The {{ReadableStream}} class</h3>

The {{ReadableStream}} class is a concrete instance of the general [=readable stream=] concept. It
is adaptable to any [=chunk=] type, and maintains an internal queue to keep track of data supplied
by the [=underlying source=] but not yet read by any consumer.

<h4 id="rs-class-definition">Interface definition</h4>

The Web IDL definition for the {{ReadableStream}} class is given as follows:

<xmp class="idl">
[Exposed=*, Transferable]
interface ReadableStream {
  constructor(optional object underlyingSource, optional QueuingStrategy strategy = {});

  static ReadableStream from(any asyncIterable);

  readonly attribute boolean locked;

  Promise<undefined> cancel(optional any reason);
  ReadableStreamReader getReader(optional ReadableStreamGetReaderOptions options = {});
  ReadableStream pipeThrough(ReadableWritablePair transform, optional StreamPipeOptions options = {});
  Promise<undefined> pipeTo(WritableStream destination, optional StreamPipeOptions options = {});
  sequence<ReadableStream> tee();

  async iterable<any>(optional ReadableStreamIteratorOptions options = {});
};

typedef (ReadableStreamDefaultReader or ReadableStreamBYOBReader) ReadableStreamReader;

enum ReadableStreamReaderMode { "byob" };

dictionary ReadableStreamGetReaderOptions {
  ReadableStreamReaderMode mode;
};

dictionary ReadableStreamIteratorOptions {
  boolean preventCancel = false;
};

dictionary ReadableWritablePair {
  required ReadableStream readable;
  required WritableStream writable;
};

dictionary StreamPipeOptions {
  boolean preventClose = false;
  boolean preventAbort = false;
  boolean preventCancel = false;
  AbortSignal signal;
};
</xmp>

<h4 id="rs-internal-slots">Internal slots</h4>

Instances of {{ReadableStream}} are created with the internal slots described in the following
table:

<table dfn-for="ReadableStream">
 <thead>
  <tr>
   <th>Internal Slot
   <th>Description (<em>non-normative</em>)
 <tbody>
  <tr>
   <td><dfn>\[[controller]]</dfn>
   <td class="non-normative">A {{ReadableStreamDefaultController}} or
   {{ReadableByteStreamController}} created with the ability to control the state and queue of this
   stream
  <tr>
   <td><dfn export>\[[Detached]]</dfn>
   <td class="non-normative">A boolean flag set to true when the stream is transferred
  <tr>
   <td><dfn>\[[disturbed]]</dfn>
   <td class="non-normative">A boolean flag set to true when the stream has been read from or
   canceled
  <tr>
   <td><dfn>\[[reader]]</dfn>
   <td class="non-normative">A {{ReadableStreamDefaultReader}} or {{ReadableStreamBYOBReader}}
   instance, if the stream is [=locked to a reader=], or undefined if it is not
  <tr>
   <td><dfn>\[[state]]</dfn>
   <td class="non-normative">A string containing the stream's current state, used internally; one
   of "<code>readable</code>", "<code>closed</code>", or "<code>errored</code>"
  <tr>
   <td><dfn>\[[storedError]]</dfn>
   <td class="non-normative">A value indicating how the stream failed, to be given as a failure
   reason or exception when trying to operate on an errored stream
</table>

<h4 id="underlying-source-api">The underlying source API</h4>

The {{ReadableStream()}} constructor accepts as its first argument a JavaScript object representing
the [=underlying source=]. Such objects can contain any of the following properties:

<xmp class="idl">
dictionary UnderlyingSource {
  UnderlyingSourceStartCallback start;
  UnderlyingSourcePullCallback pull;
  UnderlyingSourceCancelCallback cancel;
  ReadableStreamType type;
  [EnforceRange] unsigned long long autoAllocateChunkSize;
};

typedef (ReadableStreamDefaultController or ReadableByteStreamController) ReadableStreamController;

callback UnderlyingSourceStartCallback = any (ReadableStreamController controller);
callback UnderlyingSourcePullCallback = Promise<undefined> (ReadableStreamController controller);
callback UnderlyingSourceCancelCallback = Promise<undefined> (optional any reason);

enum ReadableStreamType { "bytes" };
</xmp>

<dl>
 <dt><dfn dict-member for="UnderlyingSource" lt="start">start(<var ignore>controller</var>)</dfn></dt>
 <dd>
   <p>A function that is called immediately during creation of the {{ReadableStream}}.

   <p>Typically this is used to adapt a [=push source=] by setting up relevant event listeners, as
   in the example of [[#example-rs-push-no-backpressure]], or to acquire access to a
   [=pull source=], as in [[#example-rs-pull]].

   <p>If this setup process is asynchronous, it can return a promise to signal success or failure;
   a rejected promise will error the stream. Any thrown exceptions will be re-thrown by the
   {{ReadableStream()}} constructor.

 <dt><dfn dict-member for="UnderlyingSource" lt="pull">pull(<var ignore>controller</var>)</dfn></dt>
 <dd>
  <p>A function that is called whenever the stream's [=internal queue=] of chunks becomes not full,
  i.e. whenever the queue's [=desired size to fill a stream's internal queue|desired size=] becomes
  positive. Generally, it will be called repeatedly until the queue reaches its [=high water mark=]
  (i.e. until the <a lt="desired size to fill a stream's internal queue">desired size</a> becomes
  non-positive).

  <p>For [=push sources=], this can be used to resume a paused flow, as in
  [[#example-rs-push-backpressure]]. For [=pull sources=], it is used to acquire new [=chunks=] to
  enqueue into the stream, as in [[#example-rs-pull]].

  <p>This function will not be called until {{UnderlyingSource/start|start()}} successfully
  completes. Additionally, it will only be called repeatedly if it enqueues at least one chunk or
  fulfills a BYOB request; a no-op {{UnderlyingSource/pull|pull()}} implementation will not be
  continually called.

  <p>If the function returns a promise, then it will not be called again until that promise
  fulfills. (If the promise rejects, the stream will become errored.) This is mainly used in the
  case of pull sources, where the promise returned represents the process of acquiring a new chunk.
  Throwing an exception is treated the same as returning a rejected promise.

 <dt><dfn dict-member for="UnderlyingSource" lt="cancel">cancel(<var ignore>reason</var>)</dfn></dt>
 <dd>
  <p>A function that is called whenever the [=consumer=] [=cancel a readable stream|cancels=] the
  stream, via {{ReadableStream/cancel()|stream.cancel()}} or
  {{ReadableStreamGenericReader/cancel()|reader.cancel()}}. It takes as its argument the same
  value as was passed to those methods by the consumer.

  <p>Readable streams can additionally be canceled under certain conditions during [=piping=]; see
  the definition of the {{ReadableStream/pipeTo()}} method for more details.

  <p>For all streams, this is generally used to release access to the underlying resource; see for
  example [[#example-rs-push-no-backpressure]].

  <p>If the shutdown process is asynchronous, it can return a promise to signal success or failure;
  the result will be communicated via the return value of the <code>cancel()</code> method that was
  called. Throwing an exception is treated the same as returning a rejected promise.

  <div class="note">
   <p>Even if the cancelation process fails, the stream will still close; it will not be put into
   an errored state. This is because a failure in the cancelation process doesn't matter to the
   consumer's view of the stream, once they've expressed disinterest in it by canceling. The
   failure is only communicated to the immediate caller of the corresponding method.

   <p>This is different from the behavior of the {{UnderlyingSink/close}} and
   {{UnderlyingSink/abort}} options of a {{WritableStream}}'s [=underlying sink=], which upon
   failure put the corresponding {{WritableStream}} into an errored state. Those correspond to
   specific actions the [=producer=] is requesting and, if those actions fail, they indicate
   something more persistently wrong.
  </div>

 <dt><dfn dict-member for="UnderlyingSource" lt="type"><code>type</code></dfn> (byte streams
 only)</dt>
 <dd>
  <p>Can be set to "<dfn enum-value for="ReadableStreamType">bytes</dfn>" to signal that the
  constructed {{ReadableStream}} is a <a>readable byte stream</a>. This ensures that the resulting
  {{ReadableStream}} will successfully be able to vend [=BYOB readers=] via its
  {{ReadableStream/getReader()}} method. It also affects the |controller| argument passed to the
  {{UnderlyingSource/start|start()}} and {{UnderlyingSource/pull|pull()}} methods; see below.

  <p>For an example of how to set up a readable byte stream, including using the different
  controller interface, see [[#example-rbs-push]].

  <p>Setting any value other than "{{ReadableStreamType/bytes}}" or undefined will cause the
  {{ReadableStream()}} constructor to throw an exception.

 <dt><dfn dict-member for="UnderlyingSource"
 lt="autoAllocateChunkSize"><code>autoAllocateChunkSize</code></dfn> (byte streams only)</dt>
 <dd>
  <p>Can be set to a positive integer to cause the implementation to automatically allocate buffers
  for the underlying source code to write into. In this case, when a [=consumer=] is using a
  [=default reader=], the stream implementation will automatically allocate an {{ArrayBuffer}} of
  the given size, so that {{ReadableByteStreamController/byobRequest|controller.byobRequest}} is
  always present, as if the consumer was using a [=BYOB reader=].

  <p>This is generally used to cut down on the amount of code needed to handle consumers that use
  default readers, as can be seen by comparing [[#example-rbs-push]] without auto-allocation to
  [[#example-rbs-pull]] with auto-allocation.
</dl>

The type of the |controller| argument passed to the {{UnderlyingSource/start|start()}} and
{{UnderlyingSource/pull|pull()}} methods depends on the value of the {{UnderlyingSource/type}}
option. If {{UnderlyingSource/type}} is set to undefined (including via omission), then
|controller| will be a {{ReadableStreamDefaultController}}. If it's set to
"{{ReadableStreamType/bytes}}", then |controller| will be a {{ReadableByteStreamController}}.

  source's {{UnderlyingSource/cancel|cancel()}} method, which might or might not use it.

  <p>The returned promise will fulfill if the stream shuts down successfully, or reject if the

  <p>This functionality is especially useful for creating abstractions that desire the ability to

   <p>This call behaves the same way as the no-argument variant, except that it only works on

 <dd>
  <p>Provides a convenient, chainable way of [=piping=] this [=readable stream=] through a
  [=transform stream=] (or any other <code>{ writable, readable }</code> pair). It simply pipes the

 <dd>
  <p>[=piping|Pipes=] this [=readable stream=] to a given [=writable stream=] |destination|. The
  way in which the piping process behaves under various error conditions can be customized with a
  number of passed options. It returns a promise that fulfills when the piping process completes
  successfully, or rejects if any errors were encountered.

  Piping a stream will [=locked to a reader|lock=] it for the duration of the pipe, preventing any
  other consumer from acquiring a reader.

  Errors and closures of the source and destination streams propagate as follows:

  * An error in this source [=readable stream=] will [=abort a writable stream|abort=]
    |destination|, unless {{StreamPipeOptions/preventAbort}} is truthy. The returned promise will be
    rejected with the source's error, or with any error that occurs during aborting the destination.

  * An error in |destination| will [=cancel a readable stream|cancel=] this source [=readable
    stream=], unless {{StreamPipeOptions/preventCancel}} is truthy. The returned promise will be
    rejected with the destination's error, or with any error that occurs during canceling the
    source.

  * When this source [=readable stream=] closes, |destination| will be closed, unless
    {{StreamPipeOptions/preventClose}} is truthy. The returned promise will be fulfilled once this
    process completes, unless an error is encountered while closing the destination, in which case
    it will be rejected with that error.

  * If |destination| starts out closed or closing, this source [=readable stream=] will be [=cancel
    a readable stream|canceled=], unless {{StreamPipeOptions/preventCancel}} is true. The returned
    promise will be rejected with an error indicating piping to a closed stream failed, or with any
    error that occurs during canceling the source.

  <p>The {{StreamPipeOptions/signal}} option can be set to an {{AbortSignal}} to allow aborting an
  ongoing pipe operation via the corresponding {{AbortController}}. In this case, this source
  [=readable stream=] will be [=cancel a readable stream|canceled=], and |destination| [=abort a
  writable stream|aborted=], unless the respective options {{StreamPipeOptions/preventCancel}} or
  {{StreamPipeOptions/preventAbort}} are set.

 <dd>
  <p>[=tee a readable stream|Tees=] this readable stream, returning a two-element array containing
  the two resulting branches as new {{ReadableStream}} instances.

  <p>Teeing a stream will [=locked to a reader|lock=] it, preventing any other consumer from
  acquiring a reader. To [=cancel a readable stream|cancel=] the stream, cancel both of the
  resulting branches; a composite cancellation reason will then be propagated to the stream's
  [=underlying source=].

  <p>If this stream is a [=readable byte stream=], then each branch will receive its own copy of
  each [=chunk=]. If not, then the chunks seen in each branch will be the same object.
  If the chunks are not immutable, this could allow interference between the two branches.

A <dfn>readable byte stream queue entry</dfn> is a [=struct=] encapsulating the important aspects of
a [=chunk=] for the specific case of [=readable byte streams=]. It has the following
[=struct/items=]:

: <dfn for="readable byte stream queue entry">buffer</dfn>
:: An {{ArrayBuffer}}, which will be a <a href="#transfer-array-buffer">transferred</a> version of
   the one originally supplied by the [=underlying byte source=]
: <dfn for="readable byte stream queue entry">byte offset</dfn>
:: A nonnegative integer number giving the byte offset derived from the view originally supplied by
   the [=underlying byte source=]
: <dfn for="readable byte stream queue entry">byte length</dfn>
:: A nonnegative integer number giving the byte length derived from the view originally supplied by
   the [=underlying byte source=]

A <dfn>pull-into descriptor</dfn> is a [=struct=] used to represent pending BYOB pull requests. It
has the following [=struct/items=]:

: <dfn for="pull-into descriptor">bytes filled</dfn>
:: A nonnegative integer number of bytes that have been written into the [=pull-into
   descriptor/buffer=] so far
: <dfn for="pull-into descriptor">minimum fill</dfn>
:: A positive integer representing the minimum number of bytes that must be written into the
   [=pull-into descriptor/buffer=] before the associated {{ReadableStreamBYOBReader/read()}} request
   may be fulfilled. By default, this equals the [=pull-into descriptor/element size=].
: <dfn for="pull-into descriptor">element size</dfn>
:: A positive integer representing the number of bytes that can be written into the [=pull-into
   descriptor/buffer=] at a time, using views of the type described by the [=pull-into
   descriptor/view constructor=]
: <dfn for="pull-into descriptor">view constructor</dfn>
:: A [=the typed array constructors table|typed array constructor=] or {{%DataView%}}, which will be
   used for constructing a view with which to write into the [=pull-into descriptor/buffer=]
: <dfn for="pull-into descriptor">reader type</dfn>
:: Either "`default`" or "`byob`", indicating what type of [=readable stream reader=] initiated this

    href="https://github.com/whatwg/streams/issues/905">#905</a></span>, using |reader| and
    |writer|, read all [=chunks=] from |source| and write them to |dest|. Due to the locking
    provided by the reader and writer, the exact manner in which this happens is not observable to
    author code, and so there is flexibility in how this is done. The following constraints apply
    regardless of the exact algorithm used:
  * <strong>Public API must not be used:</strong> while reading or writing, or performing any of
    the operations below, the JavaScript-modifiable reader, writer, and stream APIs (i.e. methods
    on the appropriate prototypes) must not be used. Instead, the streams must be manipulated
    directly.
  * <strong>Backpressure must be enforced:</strong>
   * While [$WritableStreamDefaultWriterGetDesiredSize$](|writer|) is ≤ 0 or is null, the user
     agent must not read from |reader|.
   * If |reader| is a [=BYOB reader=], [$WritableStreamDefaultWriterGetDesiredSize$](|writer|)
     should be used as a basis to determine the size of the chunks read from |reader|.
     <p class="note">It's frequently inefficient to read chunks that are too small or too large.
     Other information might be factored in to determine the optimal chunk size.
   * Reads or writes should not be delayed for reasons other than these backpressure signals.
     <p class="example" id="example-bad-backpressure">An implementation that waits for each write
     to successfully complete before proceeding to the next read/write operation violates this
     recommendation. In doing so, such an implementation makes the [=internal queue=] of |dest|
     useless, as it ensures |dest| always contains at most one queued [=chunk=].
  * <strong>Shutdown must stop activity:</strong> if |shuttingDown| becomes true, the user agent
    must not initiate further reads from |reader|, and must only perform writes of already-read
    [=chunks=], as described below. In particular, the user agent must check the below conditions
    before performing any reads or writes, since they might lead to immediate shutdown.
  * <strong>Error and close states must be propagated:</strong> the following conditions must be
    applied in order.
   1. <strong>Errors must be propagated forward:</strong> if |source|.[=ReadableStream/[[state]]=]
      is or becomes "`errored`", then
    1. If |preventAbort| is false, [=shutdown with an action=] of ! [$WritableStreamAbort$](|dest|,
       |source|.[=ReadableStream/[[storedError]]=]) and with
       |source|.[=ReadableStream/[[storedError]]=].
    1. Otherwise, [=shutdown=] with |source|.[=ReadableStream/[[storedError]]=].
   1. <strong>Errors must be propagated backward:</strong> if |dest|.[=WritableStream/[[state]]=]
      is or becomes "`errored`", then
    1. If |preventCancel| is false, [=shutdown with an action=] of !
       [$ReadableStreamCancel$](|source|, |dest|.[=WritableStream/[[storedError]]=]) and with
       |dest|.[=WritableStream/[[storedError]]=].
    1. Otherwise, [=shutdown=] with |dest|.[=WritableStream/[[storedError]]=].
   1. <strong>Closing must be propagated forward:</strong> if |source|.[=ReadableStream/[[state]]=]

<p class="note">Various abstract operations performed here include object creation (often of

of the locking, none of these objects can be observed by author code. As such, the realm used to

<h4 id="rs-abstract-ops-used-by-controllers">Interfacing with controllers</h4>

In terms of specification factoring, the way that the {{ReadableStream}} class encapsulates the
behavior of both simple readable streams and [=readable byte streams=] into a single class is by
centralizing most of the potentially-varying logic inside the two controller classes,
{{ReadableStreamDefaultController}} and {{ReadableByteStreamController}}. Those classes define most
of the stateful internal slots and abstract operations for how a stream's [=internal queue=] is
managed and how it interfaces with its [=underlying source=] or [=underlying byte source=].

Each controller class defines three internal methods, which are called by the {{ReadableStream}}
algorithms:

<dl>
  <dt><dfn abstract-op lt="[[CancelSteps]]"
  for="ReadableStreamController">\[[CancelSteps]](<var ignore>reason</var>)</dfn>
  <dd>The controller's steps that run in reaction to the stream being [=cancel a readable
  stream|canceled=], used to clean up the state stored in the controller and inform the
  [=underlying source=].

  <dt><dfn abstract-op lt="[[PullSteps]]" for="ReadableStreamController">\[[PullSteps]](<var
  ignore>readRequest</var>)</dfn>
  <dd>The controller's steps that run when a [=default reader=] is read from, used to pull from the
  controller any queued [=chunks=], or pull from the [=underlying source=] to get more chunks.

  <dt><dfn abstract-op lt="[[ReleaseSteps]]" for="ReadableStreamController">\[[ReleaseSteps]]()</dfn>
  <dd>The controller's steps that run when a [=readable stream reader|reader=] is
  [=release a read lock|released=], used to clean up reader-specific resources stored in the controller.
</dl>

(These are defined as internal methods, instead of as abstract operations, so that they can be
called polymorphically by the {{ReadableStream}} algorithms, without having to branch on which type
of controller is present.)

The rest of this section concerns abstract operations that go in the other direction: they are
used by the controller implementations to affect their associated {{ReadableStream}} object. This
translates internal state changes of the controller into developer-facing results visible through
the {{ReadableStream}}'s public API.

<h2 id="ws">Writable streams</h2>

<h3 id="ws-intro">Using writable streams</h3>

<div class="example" id="example-basic-pipe-to-2">
 The usual way to write to a writable stream is to simply [=piping|pipe=] a [=readable stream=] to
 it. This ensures that [=backpressure=] is respected, so that if the writable stream's [=underlying
 sink=] is not able to accept data as fast as the readable stream can produce it, the readable
 stream is informed of this and has a chance to slow down its data production.

 <xmp highlight="js">
 readableStream.pipeTo(writableStream)
   .then(() => console.log("All data successfully written!"))
   .catch(e => console.error("Something went wrong!", e));
 </xmp>
</div>

<div class="example" id="example-manual-write-batch">
 You can also write directly to writable streams by acquiring a [=writer=] and using its
 {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/write()}} and {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/close()}} methods. Since
 writable streams queue any incoming writes, and take care internally to forward them to the
 [=underlying sink=] in sequence, you can indiscriminately write to a writable stream without much
 ceremony:

 <xmp highlight="js">
 function writeArrayToStream(array, writableStream) {
   const writer = writableStream.getWriter();
   array.forEach(chunk => writer.write(chunk).catch(() => {}));

   return writer.close();
 }

 writeArrayToStream([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], writableStream)
   .then(() => console.log("All done!"))
   .catch(e => console.error("Error with the stream: " + e));
 </xmp>

 Note how we use <code>.catch(() => {})</code> to suppress any rejections from the
 {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/write()}} method; we'll be notified of any fatal errors via a
 rejection of the {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/close()}} method, and leaving them un-caught would
 cause potential {{unhandledrejection}} events and console warnings.
</div>

<div class="example" id="example-manual-write-with-error-handling">
 In the previous example we only paid attention to the success or failure of the entire stream, by
 looking at the promise returned by the writer's {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/close()}} method.
 That promise will reject if anything goes wrong with the stream—initializing it, writing to it, or
 closing it. And it will fulfill once the stream is successfully closed. Often this is all you care
 about.

 However, if you care about the success of writing a specific [=chunk=], you can use the promise
 returned by the writer's {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/write()}} method:

 <xmp highlight="js">
 writer.write("i am a chunk of data")
   .then(() => console.log("chunk successfully written!"))
   .catch(e => console.error(e));
 </xmp>

 What "success" means is up to a given stream instance (or more precisely, its [=underlying sink=])
 to decide. For example, for a file stream it could simply mean that the OS has accepted the write,
 and not necessarily that the chunk has been flushed to disk. Some streams might not be able to
 give such a signal at all, in which case the returned promise will fulfill immediately.
</div>

<div class="example" id="example-manual-write-with-backpressure">
 The {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/desiredSize}} and {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/ready}}
 properties of <a>writable stream writers</a> allow [=producers=] to more precisely respond to flow
 control signals from the stream, to keep memory usage below the stream's specified [=high water
 mark=]. The following example writes an infinite sequence of random bytes to a stream, using
 {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/desiredSize}} to determine how many bytes to generate at a given
 time, and using {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/ready}} to wait for the [=backpressure=] to subside.

 <xmp highlight="js">
 async function writeRandomBytesForever(writableStream) {
   const writer = writableStream.getWriter();

   while (true) {
     await writer.ready;

     const bytes = new Uint8Array(writer.desiredSize);
     crypto.getRandomValues(bytes);

     // Purposefully don't await; awaiting writer.ready is enough.
     writer.write(bytes).catch(() => {});
   }
 }

 writeRandomBytesForever(myWritableStream).catch(e => console.error("Something broke", e));
 </xmp>

 Note how we don't <code>await</code> the promise returned by
 {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/write()}}; this would be redundant with <code>await</code>ing the
 {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/ready}} promise. Additionally, similar to <a
 href="#example-manual-write-batch">a previous example</a>, we use the <code>.catch(() =>
 {})</code> pattern on the promises returned by {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/write()}}; in this
 case we'll be notified about any failures
 <code>await</code>ing the {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/ready}} promise.
</div>

<div class="example" id="example-manual-write-dont-await">
 To further emphasize how it's a bad idea to <code>await</code> the promise returned by
 {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/write()}}, consider a modification of the above example, where we
 continue to use the {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter}} interface directly, but we don't control how
 many bytes we have to write at a given time. In that case, the [=backpressure=]-respecting code
 looks the same:

 <xmp highlight="js">
 async function writeSuppliedBytesForever(writableStream, getBytes) {
   const writer = writableStream.getWriter();

   while (true) {
     await writer.ready;

     const bytes = getBytes();
     writer.write(bytes).catch(() => {});
   }
 }
 </xmp>

 Unlike the previous example, where—because we were always writing exactly
 {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/desiredSize|writer.desiredSize}} bytes each time—the
 {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/write()}} and {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/ready}} promises were
 synchronized, in this case it's quite possible that the {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/ready}}
 promise fulfills before the one returned by {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/write()}} does.
 Remember, the {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/ready}} promise fulfills when the [=desired size to
 fill a stream's internal queue|desired size=] becomes positive, which might be before the write
 succeeds (especially in cases with a larger [=high water mark=]).

 In other words, <code>await</code>ing the return value of {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/write()}}
 means you never queue up writes in the stream's [=internal queue=], instead only executing a write
 after the previous one succeeds, which can result in low throughput.
</div>

<p class="note">The [=WritableStream/[[inFlightCloseRequest]]=] slot and

A <dfn>pending abort request</dfn> is a [=struct=] used to track a request to abort the stream
before that request is finally processed. It has the following [=struct/items=]:

: <dfn for="pending abort request">promise</dfn>
:: A promise returned from [$WritableStreamAbort$]
: <dfn for="pending abort request">reason</dfn>

:: A boolean indicating whether or not the stream was in the "`erroring`" state when
   [$WritableStreamAbort$] was called, which impacts the outcome of the abort request

<h4 id="underlying-sink-api">The underlying sink API</h4>

The {{WritableStream()}} constructor accepts as its first argument a JavaScript object representing
the [=underlying sink=]. Such objects can contain any of the following properties:

<xmp class="idl">

callback UnderlyingSinkStartCallback = any (WritableStreamDefaultController controller);

<dl>
 <dt><dfn dict-member for="UnderlyingSink" lt="start">start(<var ignore>controller</var>)</dfn></dt>
 <dd>
  <p>A function that is called immediately during creation of the {{WritableStream}}.

  <p>Typically this is used to acquire access to the [=underlying sink=] resource being
  represented.

  <p>If this setup process is asynchronous, it can return a promise to signal success or failure; a
  rejected promise will error the stream. Any thrown exceptions will be re-thrown by the
  {{WritableStream()}} constructor.

  <dt><dfn dict-member for="UnderlyingSink" lt="write">write(<var ignore>chunk</var>,
  <var ignore>controller</var>)</dfn></dt>
  <dd>
   <p>A function that is called when a new [=chunk=] of data is ready to be written to the
   [=underlying sink=]. The stream implementation guarantees that this function will be called only
   after previous writes have succeeded, and never before {{UnderlyingSink/start|start()}} has
   succeeded or after {{UnderlyingSink/close|close()}} or {{UnderlyingSink/abort|abort()}} have
   been called.

   <p>This function is used to actually send the data to the resource presented by the [=underlying
   sink=], for example by calling a lower-level API.

   <p>If the process of writing data is asynchronous, and communicates success or failure signals
   back to its user, then this function can return a promise to signal success or failure. This
   promise return value will be communicated back to the caller of
   {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/write()|writer.write()}}, so they can monitor that individual

   <p>Note that such signals are not always available; compare e.g. [[#example-ws-no-backpressure]]
   with [[#example-ws-backpressure]]. In such cases, it's best to not return anything.

   <p>The promise potentially returned by this function also governs whether the given chunk counts
   as written for the purposes of computed the [=desired size to fill a stream's internal
   queue|desired size to fill the stream's internal queue=]. That is, during the time it takes the
   promise to settle, {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/desiredSize|writer.desiredSize}} will stay at
   its previous value, only increasing to signal the desire for more chunks once the write
   succeeds.

   <p>Finally, the promise potentially returned by this function is used to ensure that <a
   href="#write-mutable-chunks">well-behaved</a> [=producers=] do not attempt to mutate the
   [=chunk=] before it has been fully processed. (This is not guaranteed by any specification
   machinery, but instead is an informal contract between [=producers=] and the [=underlying
   sink=].)

   <p>A function that is called after the [=producer=] signals, via

   <p>This function can perform any actions necessary to finalize or flush writes to the
   [=underlying sink=], and release access to any held resources.

   <p>If the shutdown process is asynchronous, the function can return a promise to signal success
   or failure; the result will be communicated via the return value of the called
   {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/close()|writer.close()}} method. Additionally, a rejected promise
   will error the stream, instead of letting it close successfully. Throwing an exception is
   treated the same as returning a rejected promise.

   methods by the producer.

   <p>Writable streams can additionally be aborted under certain conditions during [=piping=]; see
   the definition of the {{ReadableStream/pipeTo()}} method for more details.

   <p>This function can clean up any held resources, much like {{UnderlyingSink/close|close()}},

   <p>If the shutdown process is asynchronous, the function can return a promise to signal success
   or failure; the result will be communicated via the return value of the called
   {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/abort()|writer.abort()}} method. Throwing an exception is treated
   the same as returning a rejected promise. Regardless, the stream will be errored with a new

The <code>controller</code> argument passed to {{UnderlyingSink/start|start()}} and
{{UnderlyingSink/write|write()}} is an instance of {{WritableStreamDefaultController}}, and has the
ability to error the stream. This is mainly used for bridging the gap with non-promise-based APIs,
as seen for example in [[#example-ws-no-backpressure]].

  <p>[=abort a writable stream|Aborts=] the stream, signaling that the producer can no longer
  successfully write to the stream and it is to be immediately moved to an errored state, with any
  queued-up writes discarded. This will also execute any abort mechanism of the [=underlying
  sink=].

  <p>The returned promise will fulfill if the stream shuts down successfully, or reject if the
  underlying sink signaled that there was an error doing so. Additionally, it will reject with a
  {{TypeError}} (without attempting to cancel the stream) if the stream is currently [=locked to a

 <dt><code>await <var ignore>stream</var>.{{WritableStream/close()|close}}()</code>
 <dd>
  <p>Closes the stream. The [=underlying sink=] will finish processing any previously-written
  [=chunks=], before invoking its close behavior. During this time any further attempts to write
  will fail (without erroring the stream).

  <p>The method returns a promise that will fulfill if all remaining [=chunks=] are successfully
  written and the stream successfully closes, or rejects if an error is encountered during this
  process. Additionally, it will reject with a {{TypeError}} (without attempting to cancel the
  stream) if the stream is currently [=locked to a writer|locked=].

 <dt><code><var ignore>writer</var> = <var ignore>stream</var>.{{WritableStream/getWriter()|getWriter}}()</code>
 <dd>
  <p>Creates a [=writer=] (an instance of {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter}}) and [=locked to a

  acquired until this one is [=release a write lock|released=].

  <p>This functionality is especially useful for creating abstractions that desire the ability to
  write to a stream without interruption or interleaving. By getting a writer for the stream, you
  can ensure nobody else can write at the same time, which would cause the resulting written data
  to be unpredictable and probably useless.

  <p>Returns a promise that will be fulfilled when the stream becomes closed, or rejected if the

 <dt><code><var ignore>desiredSize</var> = <var ignore>writer</var>.{{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/desiredSize}}</code>

  <p>It will be null if the stream cannot be successfully written to (due to either being errored,

  a new promise that stays pending until the next transition.

  <p>If the stream becomes errored or aborted, or the writer's lock is [=release a write

  the writer will appear closed.

  <p>Note that the lock can still be released even if some ongoing writes have not yet finished
  (i.e. even if the promises returned from previous calls to
  {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/write()}} have not yet settled). It's not necessary to hold the

  <p>Writes the given [=chunk=] to the writable stream, by waiting until any previous writes have

  {{UnderlyingSink/write|write()}} method. It will return a promise that fulfills with undefined
  upon a successful write, or rejects if the write fails or stream becomes errored before the
  writing process is initiated.

  <p>Note that what "success" means is up to the [=underlying sink=]; it might indicate simply that
  the [=chunk=] has been accepted, and not necessarily that it is safely saved to its ultimate

<h4 id="ws-abstract-ops-used-by-controllers">Interfacing with controllers</h4>

To allow future flexibility to add different writable stream behaviors (similar to the distinction
between default readable streams and [=readable byte streams=]), much of the internal state of a
[=writable stream=] is encapsulated by the {{WritableStreamDefaultController}} class.

Each controller class defines two internal methods, which are called by the {{WritableStream}}
algorithms:

<dl>
  <dt><dfn abstract-op lt="[[AbortSteps]]"
  for="WritableStreamController">\[[AbortSteps]](<var ignore>reason</var>)</dfn>
  <dd>The controller's steps that run in reaction to the stream being [=abort a writable
  stream|aborted=], used to clean up the state stored in the controller and inform the
  [=underlying sink=].

  <dt><dfn abstract-op lt="[[ErrorSteps]]" for="WritableStreamController">\[[ErrorSteps]]()</dfn>
  <dd>The controller's steps that run in reaction to the stream being errored, used to clean up the
   state stored in the controller.
</dl>

(These are defined as internal methods, instead of as abstract operations, so that they can be
called polymorphically by the {{WritableStream}} algorithms, without having to branch on which type
of controller is present. This is a bit theoretical for now, given that only
{{WritableStreamDefaultController}} exists so far.)

The rest of this section concerns abstract operations that go in the other direction: they are used
by the controller implementation to affect its associated {{WritableStream}} object. This
translates internal state changes of the controllerinto developer-facing results visible through
the {{WritableStream}}'s public API.

<h2 id="ts">Transform streams</h2>

<h3 id="ts-intro">Using transform streams</h3>

<div class="example" id="example-basic-pipe-through">
 The natural way to use a transform stream is to place it in a [=piping|pipe=] between a [=readable
 stream=] and a [=writable stream=]. [=Chunks=] that travel from the [=readable stream=] to the
 [=writable stream=] will be transformed as they pass through the transform stream.
 [=Backpressure=] is respected, so data will not be read faster than it can be transformed and
 consumed.

 <xmp highlight="js">
 readableStream
   .pipeThrough(transformStream)
   .pipeTo(writableStream)
   .then(() => console.log("All data successfully transformed!"))
   .catch(e => console.error("Something went wrong!", e));
 </xmp>
</div>

<div class="example" id="example-transform-stream-properties">
 You can also use the {{TransformStream/readable}} and {{TransformStream/writable}} properties of a
 transform stream directly to access the usual interfaces of a [=readable stream=] and [=writable
 stream=]. In this example we supply data to the [=writable side=] of the stream using its
 [=writer=] interface. The [=readable side=] is then piped to
 <code>anotherWritableStream</code>.

 <xmp highlight="js">
 const writer = transformStream.writable.getWriter();
 writer.write("input chunk");
 transformStream.readable.pipeTo(anotherWritableStream);
 </xmp>
</div>

<div class="example" id="example-transform-identity">
 One use of [=identity transform streams=] is to easily convert between readable and writable
 streams. For example, the {{fetch(input)|fetch()}} API accepts a readable stream
 [=request/body|request body=], but it can be more convenient to write data for uploading via a
 writable stream interface. Using an identity transform stream addresses this:

 <xmp highlight="js">
 const { writable, readable } = new TransformStream();
 fetch("...", { body: readable }).then(response => /* ... */);

 const writer = writable.getWriter();
 writer.write(new Uint8Array([0x73, 0x74, 0x72, 0x65, 0x61, 0x6D, 0x73, 0x21]));
 writer.close();
 </xmp>

 Another use of identity transform streams is to add additional buffering to a [=pipe=]. In this
 example we add extra buffering between <code>readableStream</code> and
 <code>writableStream</code>.

 <xmp highlight="js">
 const writableStrategy = new ByteLengthQueuingStrategy({ highWaterMark: 1024 * 1024 });

 readableStream
   .pipeThrough(new TransformStream(undefined, writableStrategy))
   .pipeTo(writableStream);
 </xmp>
</div>

<h3 id="ts-class">The {{TransformStream}} class</h3>

The {{TransformStream}} class is a concrete instance of the general [=transform stream=] concept.

<h4 id="ts-class-definition">Interface definition</h4>

<h4 id="transformer-api">The transformer API</h4>

The {{TransformStream()}} constructor accepts as its first argument a JavaScript object representing
the [=transformer=]. Such objects can contain any of the following methods:

<xmp class="idl">

  TransformerStartCallback start;
  TransformerTransformCallback transform;
  TransformerFlushCallback flush;
  TransformerCancelCallback cancel;

callback TransformerCancelCallback = Promise<undefined> (any reason);
</xmp>

<dl>
 <dt><dfn dict-member for="Transformer" lt="start">start(<var ignore>controller</var>)</dfn></dt>
  <dd>
   <p>A function that is called immediately during creation of the {{TransformStream}}.

   <p>Typically this is used to enqueue prefix [=chunks=], using
   {{TransformStreamDefaultController/enqueue()|controller.enqueue()}}. Those chunks will be read
   from the [=readable side=] but don't depend on any writes to the [=writable side=].

   <p>If this initial process is asynchronous, for example because it takes some effort to acquire
   the prefix chunks, the function can return a promise to signal success or failure; a rejected
   promise will error the stream. Any thrown exceptions will be re-thrown by the
   {{TransformStream()}} constructor.

 <dt><dfn dict-member for="Transformer" lt="transform">transform(<var ignore>chunk</var>, <var ignore>controller</var>)</dfn></dt>
 <dd>
  <p>A function called when a new [=chunk=] originally written to the [=writable side=] is ready to
  be transformed. The stream implementation guarantees that this function will be called only after
  previous transforms have succeeded, and never before {{Transformer/start|start()}} has completed
  or after {{Transformer/flush|flush()}} has been called.

  <p>This function performs the actual transformation work of the transform stream. It can enqueue
  the results using {{TransformStreamDefaultController/enqueue()|controller.enqueue()}}. This
  permits a single chunk written to the writable side to result in zero or multiple chunks on the
  [=readable side=], depending on how many times
  {{TransformStreamDefaultController/enqueue()|controller.enqueue()}} is called.
  [[#example-ts-lipfuzz]] demonstrates this by sometimes enqueuing zero chunks.

  <p>If the process of transforming is asynchronous, this function can return a promise to signal
  success or failure of the transformation. A rejected promise will error both the readable and
  writable sides of the transform stream.

  <p>The promise potentially returned by this function is used to ensure that <a
  href="#write-mutable-chunks">well-behaved</a> [=producers=] do not attempt to mutate the [=chunk=]
  before it has been fully transformed. (This is not guaranteed by any specification machinery, but
  instead is an informal contract between [=producers=] and the [=transformer=].)

  <p>If no {{Transformer/transform|transform()}} method is supplied, the identity transform is
  used, which enqueues chunks unchanged from the writable side to the readable side.

  <dt><dfn dict-member for="Transformer" lt="flush">flush(<var ignore>controller</var>)</dfn></dt>
  <dd>
   <p>A function called after all [=chunks=] written to the [=writable side=] have been transformed
   by successfully passing through {{Transformer/transform|transform()}}, and the writable side is
   about to be closed.

   <p>Typically this is used to enqueue suffix chunks to the [=readable side=], before that too
   becomes closed. An example can be seen in [[#example-ts-lipfuzz]].

   <p>If the flushing process is asynchronous, the function can return a promise to signal success
   or failure; the result will be communicated to the caller of
   {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/write()|stream.writable.write()}}. Additionally, a rejected
   promise will error both the readable and writable sides of the stream. Throwing an exception is
   treated the same as returning a rejected promise.

   <p>(Note that there is no need to call
   {{TransformStreamDefaultController/terminate()|controller.terminate()}} inside
   {{Transformer/flush|flush()}}; the stream is already in the process of successfully closing down,
   and terminating it would be counterproductive.)

  <dt><dfn dict-member for="Transformer" lt="cancel">cancel(<var ignore>reason</var>)</dfn></dt>
  <dd>
   <p>A function called when the [=readable side=] is cancelled, or when the [=writable side=] is
   aborted.

   <p>Typically this is used to clean up underlying transformer resources when the stream is aborted
   or cancelled.

   <p>If the cancellation process is asynchronous, the function can return a promise to signal
   success or failure; the result will be communicated to the caller of
   {{WritableStream/abort()|stream.writable.abort()}} or
   {{ReadableStream/cancel()|stream.readable.cancel()}}. Throwing an exception is treated the same
   as returning a rejected promise.

   <p>(Note that there is no need to call
   {{TransformStreamDefaultController/terminate()|controller.terminate()}} inside
   {{Transformer/cancel|cancel()}}; the stream is already in the process of cancelling/aborting, and
   terminating it would be counterproductive.)

<h2 id="qs">Queuing strategies</h2>

<h3 id="qs-api">The queuing strategy API</h3>

The {{ReadableStream()}}, {{WritableStream()}}, and {{TransformStream()}} constructors all accept
at least one argument representing an appropriate [=queuing strategy=] for the stream being
created. Such objects contain the following properties:

<xmp class="idl">
dictionary QueuingStrategy {
  unrestricted double highWaterMark;
  QueuingStrategySize size;
};

callback QueuingStrategySize = unrestricted double (any chunk);
</xmp>

<dl>
 <dt><dfn dict-member for="QueuingStrategy">highWaterMark</dfn></dt>
 <dd>
  <p>A non-negative number indicating the [=high water mark=] of the stream using this queuing
  strategy.

 <dt><dfn dict-member for="QueuingStrategy" lt="size">size(<var ignore>chunk</var>)</dfn> (non-byte streams only)</dt>
 <dd>
  <p>A function that computes and returns the finite non-negative size of the given [=chunk=]
  value.

  <p>The result is used to determine [=backpressure=], manifesting via the appropriate
  <code>desiredSize</code>
  property: either {{ReadableStreamDefaultController/desiredSize|defaultController.desiredSize}},
  {{ReadableByteStreamController/desiredSize|byteController.desiredSize}}, or
  {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/desiredSize|writer.desiredSize}}, depending on where the queuing
  strategy is being used. For readable streams, it also governs when the [=underlying source=]'s
  {{UnderlyingSource/pull|pull()}} method is called.

  <p>This function has to be idempotent and not cause side effects; very strange results can occur
  otherwise.

  <p>For [=readable byte streams=], this function is not used, as chunks are always measured in
  bytes.
</dl>

Any object with these properties can be used when a queuing strategy object is expected. However,
we provide two built-in queuing strategy classes that provide a common vocabulary for certain
cases: {{ByteLengthQueuingStrategy}} and {{CountQueuingStrategy}}. They both make use of the
following Web IDL fragment for their constructors:

<xmp class="idl">
dictionary QueuingStrategyInit {
  required unrestricted double highWaterMark;
};
</xmp>

<h3 id="blqs-class">The {{ByteLengthQueuingStrategy}} class</h3>

A common [=queuing strategy=] when dealing with bytes is to wait until the accumulated
<code>byteLength</code> properties of the incoming [=chunks=] reaches a specified high-water mark.
As such, this is provided as a built-in [=queuing strategy=] that can be used when constructing
streams.

<div class="example" id="example-blqs">
 When creating a [=readable stream=] or [=writable stream=], you can supply a byte-length queuing
 strategy directly:

 <xmp highlight="js">
 const stream = new ReadableStream(
   { ... },
   new ByteLengthQueuingStrategy({ highWaterMark: 16 * 1024 })
 );
 </xmp>

 In this case, 16 KiB worth of [=chunks=] can be enqueued by the readable stream's [=underlying
 source=] before the readable stream implementation starts sending [=backpressure=] signals to the
 underlying source.

 <xmp highlight="js">
 const stream = new WritableStream(
   { ... },
   new ByteLengthQueuingStrategy({ highWaterMark: 32 * 1024 })
 );
 </xmp>

 In this case, 32 KiB worth of [=chunks=] can be accumulated in the writable stream's internal
 queue, waiting for previous writes to the [=underlying sink=] to finish, before the writable
 stream starts sending [=backpressure=] signals to any [=producers=].
</div>

<p class="note">It is not necessary to use {{ByteLengthQueuingStrategy}} with [=readable byte
streams=], as they always measure chunks in bytes. Attempting to construct a byte stream with a
{{ByteLengthQueuingStrategy}} will fail.

<h4 id="blqs-class-definition">Interface definition</h4>

The Web IDL definition for the {{ByteLengthQueuingStrategy}} class is given as follows:

<xmp class="idl">
[Exposed=*]
interface ByteLengthQueuingStrategy {
  constructor(QueuingStrategyInit init);

  readonly attribute unrestricted double highWaterMark;
  readonly attribute Function size;
};
</xmp>

<h4 id="blqs-internal-slots">Internal slots</h4>

Instances of {{ByteLengthQueuingStrategy}} have a
<dfn for="ByteLengthQueuingStrategy">\[[highWaterMark]]</dfn> internal slot, storing the value given
in the constructor.

<div algorithm>
 Additionally, every [=/global object=] |globalObject| has an associated <dfn>byte length queuing
 strategy size function</dfn>, which is a {{Function}} whose value must be initialized as follows:

 1. Let |steps| be the following steps, given |chunk|:
  1. Return ? [$GetV$](|chunk|, "`byteLength`").
 1. Let |F| be ! [$CreateBuiltinFunction$](|steps|, 1, "`size`", « », |globalObject|'s [=relevant
    Realm=]).
 1. Set |globalObject|'s [=byte length queuing strategy size function=] to a {{Function}} that
    represents a reference to |F|, with [=callback context=] equal to |globalObject|'s [=relevant
    settings object=].

 <p class="note">This design is somewhat historical. It is motivated by the desire to ensure that

<h3 id="cqs-class">The {{CountQueuingStrategy}} class</h3>

A common [=queuing strategy=] when dealing with streams of generic objects is to simply count the
number of chunks that have been accumulated so far, waiting until this number reaches a specified
high-water mark. As such, this strategy is also provided out of the box.

<div class="example" id="example-cqs">
 When creating a [=readable stream=] or [=writable stream=], you can supply a count queuing
 strategy directly:

 <xmp highlight="js">
 const stream = new ReadableStream(
   { ... },
   new CountQueuingStrategy({ highWaterMark: 10 })
 );
 </xmp>

 In this case, 10 [=chunks=] (of any kind) can be enqueued by the readable stream's [=underlying
 source=] before the readable stream implementation starts sending [=backpressure=] signals to the
 underlying source.

 <xmp highlight="js">
 const stream = new WritableStream(
   { ... },
   new CountQueuingStrategy({ highWaterMark: 5 })
 );
 </xmp>

 In this case, five [=chunks=] (of any kind) can be accumulated in the writable stream's internal
 queue, waiting for previous writes to the [=underlying sink=] to finish, before the writable
 stream starts sending [=backpressure=] signals to any [=producers=].
</div>

<h4 id="cqs-class-definition">Interface definition</h4>

The Web IDL definition for the {{CountQueuingStrategy}} class is given as follows:

<xmp class="idl">
[Exposed=*]
interface CountQueuingStrategy {
  constructor(QueuingStrategyInit init);

  readonly attribute unrestricted double highWaterMark;
  readonly attribute Function size;
};
</xmp>

<h4 id="cqs-internal-slots">Internal slots</h4>

Instances of {{CountQueuingStrategy}} have a <dfn for="CountQueuingStrategy">\[[highWaterMark]]</dfn>
internal slot, storing the value given in the constructor.

<div algorithm>
 Additionally, every [=/global object=] |globalObject| has an associated <dfn>count queuing strategy
 size function</dfn>, which is a {{Function}} whose value must be initialized as follows:

 1. Let |steps| be the following steps:
  1. Return 1.
 1. Let |F| be ! [$CreateBuiltinFunction$](|steps|, 0, "`size`", « », |globalObject|'s [=relevant
    Realm=]).
 1. Set |globalObject|'s [=count queuing strategy size function=] to a {{Function}} that represents
    a reference to |F|, with [=callback context=] equal to |globalObject|'s [=relevant settings
    object=].

 <p class="note">This design is somewhat historical. It is motivated by the desire to ensure that
 {{CountQueuingStrategy/size}} is a function, not a method, i.e. it does not check its
 <code>this</code> value. See <a

<h2 id="other-stuff">Supporting abstract operations</h4>

The following abstract operations each support the implementation of more than one type of stream,
and as such are not grouped under the major sections above.

<h3 id="queue-with-sizes">Queue-with-sizes</h3>

The streams in this specification use a "queue-with-sizes" data structure to store queued up
values, along with their determined sizes. Various specification objects contain a
queue-with-sizes, represented by the object having two paired internal slots, always named
\[[queue]] and \[[queueTotalSize]]. \[[queue]] is a [=list=] of [=value-with-sizes=], and
\[[queueTotalSize]] is a JavaScript {{Number}}, i.e. a double-precision floating point number.

The following abstract operations are used when operating on objects that contain
queues-with-sizes, in order to ensure that the two internal slots stay synchronized.

<p class="warning">Due to the limited precision of floating-point arithmetic, the framework
specified here, of keeping a running total in the \[[queueTotalSize]] slot, is <em>not</em>
equivalent to adding up the size of all [=chunks=] in \[[queue]]. (However, this only makes a
difference when there is a huge (~10<sup>15</sup>) variance in size between chunks, or when
trillions of chunks are enqueued.)

In what follows, a <dfn>value-with-size</dfn> is a [=struct=] with the two [=struct/items=] <dfn
for="value-with-size">value</dfn> and <dfn for="value-with-size">size</dfn>.

<div algorithm>

 1. Assert: |container|.\[[queue]] is not [=list/is empty|empty=].
 1. Let |valueWithSize| be |container|.\[[queue]][0].
 1. [=list/Remove=] |valueWithSize| from |container|.\[[queue]].
 1. Set |container|.\[[queueTotalSize]] to |container|.\[[queueTotalSize]] − |valueWithSize|'s
    [=value-with-size/size=].
 1. If |container|.\[[queueTotalSize]] &lt; 0, set |container|.\[[queueTotalSize]] to 0. (This can
    occur due to rounding errors.)
 1. Return |valueWithSize|'s [=value-with-size/value=].
</div>

<div algorithm>
 <dfn abstract-op lt="EnqueueValueWithSize"
 id="enqueue-value-with-size">EnqueueValueWithSize(|container|, |value|, |size|)</dfn> performs the
 following steps:

 1. Assert: |container| has \[[queue]] and \[[queueTotalSize]] internal slots.

 1. If |size| is +∞, throw a {{RangeError}} exception.

    [=value-with-size/size=] |size| to |container|.\[[queue]].
 1. Set |container|.\[[queueTotalSize]] to |container|.\[[queueTotalSize]] + |size|.
</div>

 1. Let |valueWithSize| be |container|.\[[queue]][0].
 1. Return |valueWithSize|'s [=value-with-size/value=].
</div>

<div algorithm>
 <dfn abstract-op lt="ResetQueue" id="reset-queue">ResetQueue(|container|)</dfn>
 performs the following steps:

<h3 id="transferrable-streams">Transferable streams</h3>

abstract operations are used to implement these "cross-realm transforms".

<h2 id="other-specs">Using streams in other specifications</h2>

Much of this standard concerns itself with the internal machinery of streams. Other specifications
generally do not need to worry about these details. Instead, they should interface with this
standard via the various IDL types it defines, along with the following definitions.

Specifications should not directly inspect or manipulate the various internal slots defined in this
standard. Similarly, they should not use the abstract operations defined here. Such direct usage can
break invariants that this standard otherwise maintains.

<p class="note">If your specification wants to interface with streams in a way not supported here,
<a href="https://github.com/whatwg/streams/issues/new">file an issue</a>. This section is intended
to grow organically as needed.

Specifications must not [=ArrayBuffer/transfer=] or [=ArrayBuffer/detach=] the
[=BufferSource/underlying buffer=] of the [=ReadableStream/current BYOB request view=].

<p class="note">Implementations could do something equivalent to transferring, e.g. if they want to
write into the memory from another thread. But they would need to make a few adjustments to how they
implement the [=ReadableStream/enqueue=] and [=ReadableStream/close=] algorithms to keep the same
observable consequences. In specification-land, transferring and detaching is just disallowed.

Specifications should, when possible, [=ArrayBufferView/write=] into the [=ReadableStream/current
BYOB request view=] when it is non-null, and then call [=ReadableStream/enqueue=] with that view.
They should only [=ArrayBufferView/create=] a new {{ArrayBufferView}} to pass to
[=ReadableStream/enqueue=] when the [=ReadableStream/current BYOB request view=] is null, or when
they have more bytes on hand than the [=ReadableStream/current BYOB request view=]'s
[=BufferSource/byte length=]. This avoids unnecessary copies and better respects the wishes of the
stream's [=consumer=].

The following [=ReadableStream/pull from bytes=] algorithm implements these requirements, for the
common case where bytes are derived from a [=byte sequence=] that serves as the specification-level
representation of an [=underlying byte source=]. Note that it is conservative and leaves bytes in
the [=byte sequence=], instead of aggressively [=ReadableStream/enqueueing=] them, so callers of
this algorithm might want to use the number of remaining bytes as a [=backpressure=] signal.

 1. Let |pullSize| be the smaller value of |available| and |desiredSize|.
 1. Let |pulled| be the first |pullSize| bytes of |bytes|.
 1. Remove the first |pullSize| bytes from |bytes|.
 1. If |stream|'s [=ReadableStream/current BYOB request view=] is non-null, then:

 <div algorithm="read-loop">
  For the purposes of the above algorithm, to <dfn>read-loop</dfn> given |reader|, |bytes|,

       <p class="note">This recursion could potentially cause a stack overflow if implemented

<h4 id="other-specs-rs-introspect">Introspection</h4>

The following predicates can be used on arbitrary {{ReadableStream}} objects. However, note that
apart from checking whether or not the stream is [=ReadableStream/locked=], this direct
introspection is not possible via the public JavaScript API, and so specifications should instead
use the algorithms in [[#other-specs-rs-reading]]. (For example, instead of testing if the stream is
[=ReadableStream/readable=], attempt to [=ReadableStream/get a reader=] and handle any exception.)

<p algorithm>A {{ReadableStream}} |stream| is <dfn export for="ReadableStream">readable</dfn> if

 <p class="note">This indicates whether the stream has ever been read from or canceled. Even more so

<h4 id="other-specs-ts-wrapping">Wrapping into a custom class</h4>

Other specifications which mean to define custom [=transform streams=] might not want to subclass
from the {{TransformStream}} interface directly. Instead, if they need a new class, they can create
their own independent Web IDL interfaces, and use the following mixin:

<xmp class="idl">
interface mixin GenericTransformStream {
  readonly attribute ReadableStream readable;
  readonly attribute WritableStream writable;
};
</xmp>

Any [=platform object=] that [=includes=] the {{GenericTransformStream}} mixin has an associated
<dfn export for="GenericTransformStream">transform</dfn>, which is an actual {{TransformStream}}.

The <dfn attribute for="GenericTransformStream">readable</dfn> getter steps are to return [=this=]'s
[=GenericTransformStream/transform=].[=TransformStream/[[readable]]=].

The <dfn attribute for="GenericTransformStream">writable</dfn> getter steps are to return [=this=]'s
[=GenericTransformStream/transform=].[=TransformStream/[[writable]]=].

<hr>

Including the {{GenericTransformStream}} mixin will give an IDL interface the appropriate
{{GenericTransformStream/readable}} and {{GenericTransformStream/writable}} properties. To customize
the behavior of the resulting interface, its constructor (or other initialization code) must set
each instance's [=GenericTransformStream/transform=] to a [=new=] {{TransformStream}}, and then
[=TransformStream/set up|set it up=] with appropriate customizations via the
<var>[=TransformStream/set up/transformAlgorithm=]</var> and optionally
<var>[=TransformStream/set up/flushAlgorithm=]</var> arguments.

Note: Existing examples of this pattern on the web platform include {{CompressionStream}} and
{{TextDecoderStream}}. [[COMPRESSION]] [[ENCODING]]

<p class="note">There's no need to create a wrapper class if you don't need any API beyond what the
base {{TransformStream}} class provides. The most common driver for such a wrapper is needing custom
[=constructor steps=], but if your conceptual transform stream isn't meant to be constructed, then
using {{TransformStream}} directly is fine.

<h3 id="other-specs-pairs">Other stream pairs</h3>

Apart from [=transform streams=], discussed above, specifications often create pairs of [=readable
stream|readable=] and [=writable stream|writable=] streams. This section gives some guidance for
such situations.

In all such cases, specifications should use the names `readable` and `writable` for the two
properties exposing the streams in question. They should not use other names (such as
`input`/`output` or `readableStream`/`writableStream`), and they should not use methods or other
non-property means of access to the streams.

<h4 id="other-specs-duplex">Duplex streams</h4>

The most common readable/writable pair is a <dfn export>duplex stream</dfn>, where the readable and
writable streams represent two sides of a single shared resource, such as a socket, connection, or
device.

The trickiest thing to consider when specifying duplex streams is how to handle operations like
[=cancel a readable stream|canceling=] the readable side, or closing or [=abort a writable
stream|aborting=] the writable side. It might make sense to leave duplex streams "half open", with
such operations one one side not impacting the other side. Or it might be best to carry over their
effects to the other side, e.g. by specifying that your readable side's
<var ignore>[=ReadableStream/set up/cancelAlgorithm=]</var> will [=WritableStream/close=] the
writable side.

<p class="example" id="example-basic-duplex">A basic example of a duplex stream, created through
JavaScript instead of through specification prose, is found in [[#example-both]]. It illustrates
this carry-over behavior.

Another consideration is how to handle the creation of duplex streams which need to be acquired
asynchronously, e.g. via establishing a connection. The preferred pattern here is to have a
constructible class with a promise-returning property that fulfills with the actual duplex stream
object. That duplex stream object can also then expose any information that is only available
asynchronously, e.g. connection data. The container class can then provide convenience APIs, such as
a function to close the entire connection instead of only closing individual sides.

<p class="example" id="example-duplex-with-container">An example of this more complex type of duplex
stream is the still-being-specified `WebSocketStream`. See its <a
href="https://github.com/ricea/websocketstream-explainer/blob/master/README.md">explainer</a> and <a
href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1La1ehXw76HP6n1uUeks-WJGFgAnpX2tCjKts7QFJ57Y/edit#">design
notes</a>.

Because duplex streams obey the `readable`/`writable` property contract, they can be used with
{{ReadableStream/pipeThrough()}}. This doesn't always make sense, but it could in cases where the
underlying resource is in fact performing some sort of transformation.

<p class="example" id="example-duplex-pipethrough">For an arbitrary WebSocket, piping through a
WebSocket-derived duplex stream doesn't make sense. However, if the WebSocket server is specifically
written so that it responds to incoming messages by sending the same data back in some transformed
form, then this could be useful and convenient.

<h4 id="other-specs-endpoints">Endpoint pairs</h4>

Another type of readable/writable pair is an <dfn export>endpoint pair</dfn>. In these cases the
readable and writable streams represent the two ends of a longer pipeline, with the intention that
web developer code insert [=transform streams=] into the middle of them.

<div class="example" id="example-endpoint-pair-usage">
 Assuming we had a web-platform-provided function `createEndpointPair()`, web developers would write
 code like so:

 <xmp highlight="js">
 const { readable, writable } = createEndpointPair();
 await readable.pipeThrough(new TransformStream(...)).pipeTo(writable);
 </xmp>
</div>

<p class="example" id="example-endpoint-pair-webrtc"><cite>WebRTC Encoded Transform</cite>
is an example of this technique, with its {{RTCRtpScriptTransformer}} interface which has
both `readable` and `writable` attributes.

Despite such endpoint pairs obeying the `readable`/`writable` property contract, it never makes
sense to pass them to {{ReadableStream/pipeThrough()}}.

<h2 id="creating-examples">Examples of creating streams</h2>

<div class="non-normative">

<em>This section, and all its subsections, are non-normative.</em>

The previous examples throughout the standard have focused on how to use streams. Here we show how
to create a stream, using the {{ReadableStream}}, {{WritableStream}}, and {{TransformStream}}
constructors.

<h3 id="example-rs-push-no-backpressure">A readable stream with an underlying push source (no
backpressure support)</h3>

The following function creates [=readable streams=] that wrap {{WebSocket}} instances [[WEBSOCKETS]],
which are [=push sources=] that do not support backpressure signals. It illustrates how, when
adapting a push source, usually most of the work happens in the {{UnderlyingSource/start|start()}}
method.

<xmp highlight="js">
function makeReadableWebSocketStream(url, protocols) {
  const ws = new WebSocket(url, protocols);
  ws.binaryType = "arraybuffer";

  return new ReadableStream({
    start(controller) {
      ws.onmessage = event => controller.enqueue(event.data);
      ws.onclose = () => controller.close();
      ws.onerror = () => controller.error(new Error("The WebSocket errored!"));
    },

    cancel() {
      ws.close();
    }
  });
}
</xmp>

We can then use this function to create readable streams for a web socket, and pipe that stream to
an arbitrary writable stream:

<xmp highlight="js">
const webSocketStream = makeReadableWebSocketStream("wss://example.com:443/", "protocol");

webSocketStream.pipeTo(writableStream)
  .then(() => console.log("All data successfully written!"))
  .catch(e => console.error("Something went wrong!", e));
</xmp>

<div class="note" id="note-web-socket-wrapping-examples">
 This specific style of wrapping a web socket interprets web socket messages directly as
 [=chunks=]. This can be a convenient abstraction, for example when [=piping=] to a [=writable
 stream=] or [=transform stream=] for which each web socket message makes sense as a chunk to
 consume or transform.

 However, often when people talk about "adding streams support to web sockets", they are hoping
 instead for a new capability to send an individual web socket message in a streaming fashion, so
 that e.g. a file could be transferred in a single message without holding all of its contents in
 memory on the client side. To accomplish this goal, we'd instead want to allow individual web
 socket messages to themselves be {{ReadableStream}} instances. That isn't what we show in the
 above example.

 For more background, see <a

</div>

<h3 id="example-rs-push-backpressure">A readable stream with an underlying push source and
backpressure support</h3>

The following function returns [=readable streams=] that wrap "backpressure sockets," which are
hypothetical objects that have the same API as web sockets, but also provide the ability to pause
and resume the flow of data with their <code>readStop</code> and <code>readStart</code> methods. In
doing so, this example shows how to apply [=backpressure=] to [=underlying sources=] that support
it.

<xmp highlight="js">
function makeReadableBackpressureSocketStream(host, port) {
  const socket = createBackpressureSocket(host, port);

  return new ReadableStream({
    start(controller) {
      socket.ondata = event => {
        controller.enqueue(event.data);

        if (controller.desiredSize <= 0) {
          // The internal queue is full, so propagate
          // the backpressure signal to the underlying source.
          socket.readStop();
        }
      };

      socket.onend = () => controller.close();
      socket.onerror = () => controller.error(new Error("The socket errored!"));
    },

    pull() {
      // This is called if the internal queue has been emptied, but the
      // stream's consumer still wants more data. In that case, restart
      // the flow of data if we have previously paused it.
      socket.readStart();
    },

    cancel() {
      socket.close();
    }
  });
}
</xmp>

We can then use this function to create readable streams for such "backpressure sockets" in the
same way we do for web sockets. This time, however, when we pipe to a destination that cannot
accept data as fast as the socket is producing it, or if we leave the stream alone without reading
from it for some time, a backpressure signal will be sent to the socket.

<h3 id="example-rbs-push">A readable byte stream with an underlying push source (no backpressure
support)</h3>

The following function returns [=readable byte streams=] that wraps a hypothetical UDP socket API,
including a promise-returning <code>select2()</code> method that is meant to be evocative of the
POSIX select(2) system call.

Since the UDP protocol does not have any built-in backpressure support, the backpressure signal
given by {{ReadableByteStreamController/desiredSize}} is ignored, and the stream ensures that when
data is available from the socket but not yet requested by the developer, it is enqueued in the
stream's [=internal queue=], to avoid overflow of the kernel-space queue and a consequent loss of
data.

This has some interesting consequences for how [=consumers=] interact with the stream. If the
consumer does not read data as fast as the socket produces it, the [=chunks=] will remain in the
stream's [=internal queue=] indefinitely. In this case, using a [=BYOB reader=] will cause an extra
copy, to move the data from the stream's internal queue to the developer-supplied buffer. However,
if the consumer consumes the data quickly enough, a [=BYOB reader=] will allow zero-copy reading
directly into developer-supplied buffers.

(You can imagine a more complex version of this example which uses
{{ReadableByteStreamController/desiredSize}} to inform an out-of-band backpressure signaling
mechanism, for example by sending a message down the socket to adjust the rate of data being sent.
That is left as an exercise for the reader.)

<xmp highlight="js">
const DEFAULT_CHUNK_SIZE = 65536;

function makeUDPSocketStream(host, port) {
  const socket = createUDPSocket(host, port);

  return new ReadableStream({
    type: "bytes",

    start(controller) {
      readRepeatedly().catch(e => controller.error(e));

      function readRepeatedly() {
        return socket.select2().then(() => {
          // Since the socket can become readable even when there’s
          // no pending BYOB requests, we need to handle both cases.
          let bytesRead;
          if (controller.byobRequest) {
            const v = controller.byobRequest.view;
            bytesRead = socket.readInto(v.buffer, v.byteOffset, v.byteLength);
            if (bytesRead === 0) {
              controller.close();
            }
            controller.byobRequest.respond(bytesRead);
          } else {
            const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(DEFAULT_CHUNK_SIZE);
            bytesRead = socket.readInto(buffer, 0, DEFAULT_CHUNK_SIZE);
            if (bytesRead === 0) {
              controller.close();
            } else {
              controller.enqueue(new Uint8Array(buffer, 0, bytesRead));
            }
          }

          if (bytesRead === 0) {
            return;
          }

          return readRepeatedly();
        });
      }
    },

    cancel() {
      socket.close();
    }
  });
}
</xmp>

{{ReadableStream}} instances returned from this function can now vend [=BYOB readers=], with all of
the aforementioned benefits and caveats.

<h3 id="example-rs-pull">A readable stream with an underlying pull source</h3>

The following function returns [=readable streams=] that wrap portions of the <a
href="https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html">Node.js file system API</a> (which themselves map fairly
directly to C's <code>fopen</code>, <code>fread</code>, and <code>fclose</code> trio). Files are a
typical example of [=pull sources=]. Note how in contrast to the examples with push sources, most
of the work here happens on-demand in the {{UnderlyingSource/pull|pull()}} function, and not at
startup time in the {{UnderlyingSource/start|start()}} function.

<xmp highlight="js">
const fs = require("fs").promises;
const CHUNK_SIZE = 1024;

function makeReadableFileStream(filename) {
  let fileHandle;
  let position = 0;

  return new ReadableStream({
    async start() {
      fileHandle = await fs.open(filename, "r");
    },

    async pull(controller) {
      const buffer = new Uint8Array(CHUNK_SIZE);

      const { bytesRead } = await fileHandle.read(buffer, 0, CHUNK_SIZE, position);
      if (bytesRead === 0) {
        await fileHandle.close();
        controller.close();
      } else {
        position += bytesRead;
        controller.enqueue(buffer.subarray(0, bytesRead));
      }
    },

    cancel() {
      return fileHandle.close();
    }
  });
}
</xmp>

We can then create and use readable streams for files just as we could before for sockets.

<h3 id="example-rbs-pull">A readable byte stream with an underlying pull source</h3>

The following function returns [=readable byte streams=] that allow efficient zero-copy reading of
files, again using the <a href="https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html">Node.js file system API</a>.
Instead of using a predetermined chunk size of 1024, it attempts to fill the developer-supplied
buffer, allowing full control.

<xmp highlight="js">
const fs = require("fs").promises;
const DEFAULT_CHUNK_SIZE = 1024;

function makeReadableByteFileStream(filename) {
 let fileHandle;
 let position = 0;

  return new ReadableStream({
    type: "bytes",

    async start() {
      fileHandle = await fs.open(filename, "r");
    },

    async pull(controller) {
      // Even when the consumer is using the default reader, the auto-allocation
      // feature allocates a buffer and passes it to us via byobRequest.
      const v = controller.byobRequest.view;

      const { bytesRead } = await fileHandle.read(v, 0, v.byteLength, position);
      if (bytesRead === 0) {
        await fileHandle.close();
        controller.close();
        controller.byobRequest.respond(0);
      } else {
        position += bytesRead;
        controller.byobRequest.respond(bytesRead);
      }
    },

    cancel() {
      return fileHandle.close();
    },

    autoAllocateChunkSize: DEFAULT_CHUNK_SIZE
  });
}
</xmp>

With this in hand, we can create and use [=BYOB readers=] for the returned {{ReadableStream}}. But
we can also create [=default readers=], using them in the same simple and generic manner as usual.
The adaptation between the low-level byte tracking of the [=underlying byte source=] shown here,
and the higher-level chunk-based consumption of a [=default reader=], is all taken care of
automatically by the streams implementation. The auto-allocation feature, via the
{{UnderlyingSource/autoAllocateChunkSize}} option, even allows us to write less code, compared to
the manual branching in [[#example-rbs-push]].

<h3 id="example-ws-no-backpressure">A writable stream with no backpressure or success signals</h3>

The following function returns a [=writable stream=] that wraps a {{WebSocket}} [[WEBSOCKETS]]. Web
sockets do not provide any way to tell when a given chunk of data has been successfully sent
(without awkward polling of {{WebSocket/bufferedAmount}}, which we leave as an exercise to the
reader). As such, this writable stream has no ability to communicate accurate [=backpressure=]
signals or write success/failure to its [=producers=]. That is, the promises returned by its
[=writer=]'s {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/write()}} method and
{{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/ready}} getter will always fulfill immediately.

<xmp highlight="js">
function makeWritableWebSocketStream(url, protocols) {
  const ws = new WebSocket(url, protocols);

  return new WritableStream({
    start(controller) {
      ws.onerror = () => {
        controller.error(new Error("The WebSocket errored!"));
        ws.onclose = null;
      };
      ws.onclose = () => controller.error(new Error("The server closed the connection unexpectedly!"));
      return new Promise(resolve => ws.onopen = resolve);
    },

    write(chunk) {
      ws.send(chunk);
      // Return immediately, since the web socket gives us no easy way to tell
      // when the write completes.
    },

    close() {
      return closeWS(1000);
    },

    abort(reason) {
      return closeWS(4000, reason && reason.message);
    },
  });

  function closeWS(code, reasonString) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      ws.onclose = e => {
        if (e.wasClean) {
          resolve();
        } else {
          reject(new Error("The connection was not closed cleanly"));
        }
      };
      ws.close(code, reasonString);
    });
  }
}
</xmp>

We can then use this function to create writable streams for a web socket, and pipe an arbitrary
readable stream to it:

<xmp highlight="js">
const webSocketStream = makeWritableWebSocketStream("wss://example.com:443/", "protocol");

readableStream.pipeTo(webSocketStream)
  .then(() => console.log("All data successfully written!"))
  .catch(e => console.error("Something went wrong!", e));
</xmp>

<p class="note">See <a href="#note-web-socket-wrapping-examples">the earlier note</a> about this
style of wrapping web sockets into streams.

<h3 id="example-ws-backpressure">A writable stream with backpressure and success signals</h3>

The following function returns [=writable streams=] that wrap portions of the <a
href="https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html">Node.js file system API</a> (which themselves map fairly
directly to C's <code>fopen</code>, <code>fwrite</code>, and <code>fclose</code> trio). Since the
API we are wrapping provides a way to tell when a given write succeeds, this stream will be able to
communicate [=backpressure=] signals as well as whether an individual write succeeded or failed.

<xmp highlight="js">
const fs = require("fs").promises;

function makeWritableFileStream(filename) {
  let fileHandle;

  return new WritableStream({
    async start() {
      fileHandle = await fs.open(filename, "w");
    },

    write(chunk) {
      return fileHandle.write(chunk, 0, chunk.length);
    },

    close() {
      return fileHandle.close();
    },

    abort() {
      return fileHandle.close();
    }
  });
}
</xmp>

We can then use this function to create a writable stream for a file, and write individual
[=chunks=] of data to it:

<xmp highlight="js">
const fileStream = makeWritableFileStream("/example/path/on/fs.txt");
const writer = fileStream.getWriter();

writer.write("To stream, or not to stream\n");
writer.write("That is the question\n");

writer.close()
  .then(() => console.log("chunks written and stream closed successfully!"))
  .catch(e => console.error(e));
</xmp>

Note that if a particular call to <code>fileHandle.write</code> takes a longer time, the returned
promise will fulfill later. In the meantime, additional writes can be queued up, which are stored
in the stream's internal queue. The accumulation of chunks in this queue can change the stream to
return a pending promise from the {{WritableStreamDefaultWriter/ready}} getter, which is a signal
to [=producers=] that they would benefit from backing off and stopping writing, if possible.

The way in which the writable stream queues up writes is especially important in this case, since
as stated in <a
href="https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_filehandle_write_buffer_offset_length_position">the
documentation for <code>fileHandle.write</code></a>, "it is unsafe to use
<code>filehandle.write</code> multiple times on the same file without waiting for the promise." But
we don't have to worry about that when writing the <code>makeWritableFileStream</code> function,
since the stream implementation guarantees that the [=underlying sink=]'s
{{UnderlyingSink/write|write()}} method will not be called until any promises returned by previous
calls have fulfilled!

<h3 id="example-both">A { readable, writable } stream pair wrapping the same underlying
resource</h3>

The following function returns an object of the form <code>{ readable, writable }</code>, with the
<code>readable</code> property containing a readable stream and the <code>writable</code> property
containing a writable stream, where both streams wrap the same underlying web socket resource. In
essence, this combines [[#example-rs-push-no-backpressure]] and [[#example-ws-no-backpressure]].

While doing so, it illustrates how you can use JavaScript classes to create reusable underlying
sink and underlying source abstractions.

<xmp highlight="js">
function streamifyWebSocket(url, protocol) {
  const ws = new WebSocket(url, protocols);
  ws.binaryType = "arraybuffer";

  return {
    readable: new ReadableStream(new WebSocketSource(ws)),
    writable: new WritableStream(new WebSocketSink(ws))
  };
}

class WebSocketSource {
  constructor(ws) {
    this._ws = ws;
  }

  start(controller) {
    this._ws.onmessage = event => controller.enqueue(event.data);
    this._ws.onclose = () => controller.close();

    this._ws.addEventListener("error", () => {
      controller.error(new Error("The WebSocket errored!"));
    });
  }

  cancel() {
    this._ws.close();
  }
}

class WebSocketSink {
  constructor(ws) {
    this._ws = ws;
  }

  start(controller) {
    this._ws.onclose = () => controller.error(new Error("The server closed the connection unexpectedly!"));
    this._ws.addEventListener("error", () => {
      controller.error(new Error("The WebSocket errored!"));
      this._ws.onclose = null;
    });

    return new Promise(resolve => this._ws.onopen = resolve);
  }

  write(chunk) {
    this._ws.send(chunk);
  }

  close() {
    return this._closeWS(1000);
  }

  abort(reason) {
    return this._closeWS(4000, reason && reason.message);
  }

  _closeWS(code, reasonString) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      this._ws.onclose = e => {
        if (e.wasClean) {
          resolve();
        } else {
          reject(new Error("The connection was not closed cleanly"));
        }
      };
      this._ws.close(code, reasonString);
    });
  }
}
</xmp>

We can then use the objects created by this function to communicate with a remote web socket, using
the standard stream APIs:

<xmp highlight="js">
const streamyWS = streamifyWebSocket("wss://example.com:443/", "protocol");
const writer = streamyWS.writable.getWriter();
const reader = streamyWS.readable.getReader();

writer.write("Hello");
writer.write("web socket!");

reader.read().then(({ value, done }) => {
  console.log("The web socket says: ", value);
});
</xmp>

Note how in this setup canceling the <code>readable</code> side will implicitly close the
<code>writable</code> side, and similarly, closing or aborting the <code>writable</code> side will
implicitly close the <code>readable</code> side.

<h3 id="example-ts-lipfuzz">A transform stream that replaces template tags</h3>

It's often useful to substitute tags with variables on a stream of data, where the parts that need
to be replaced are small compared to the overall data size. This example presents a simple way to
do that. It maps strings to strings, transforming a template like <code>"Time: \{{time}} Message:
\{{message}}"</code> to <code>"Time: 15:36 Message: hello"</code> assuming that <code>{ time:
"15:36", message: "hello" }</code> was passed in the <code>substitutions</code> parameter to
<code>LipFuzzTransformer</code>.

This example also demonstrates one way to deal with a situation where a chunk contains partial data
that cannot be transformed until more data is received. In this case, a partial template tag will
be accumulated in the <code>partialChunk</code> property until either the end of the tag is found or
the end of the stream is reached.

<xmp highlight="js">
class LipFuzzTransformer {
  constructor(substitutions) {
    this.substitutions = substitutions;
    this.partialChunk = "";
    this.lastIndex = undefined;
  }

  transform(chunk, controller) {
    chunk = this.partialChunk + chunk;
    this.partialChunk = "";
    // lastIndex is the index of the first character after the last substitution.
    this.lastIndex = 0;
    chunk = chunk.replace(/\{\{([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)\}\}/g, this.replaceTag.bind(this));
    // Regular expression for an incomplete template at the end of a string.
    const partialAtEndRegexp = /\{(\{([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+(\})?)?)?$/g;
    // Avoid looking at any characters that have already been substituted.
    partialAtEndRegexp.lastIndex = this.lastIndex;
    this.lastIndex = undefined;
    const match = partialAtEndRegexp.exec(chunk);
    if (match) {
      this.partialChunk = chunk.substring(match.index);
      chunk = chunk.substring(0, match.index);
    }
    controller.enqueue(chunk);
  }

  flush(controller) {
    if (this.partialChunk.length > 0) {
      controller.enqueue(this.partialChunk);
    }
  }

  replaceTag(match, p1, offset) {
    let replacement = this.substitutions[p1];
    if (replacement === undefined) {
      replacement = "";
    }
    this.lastIndex = offset + replacement.length;
    return replacement;
  }
}
</xmp>

In this case we define the [=transformer=] to be passed to the {{TransformStream}} constructor as a
class. This is useful when there is instance data to track.

The class would be used in code like:

<xmp highlight="js">
const data = { userName, displayName, icon, date };
const ts = new TransformStream(new LipFuzzTransformer(data));

fetchEvent.respondWith(
  fetch(fetchEvent.request.url).then(response => {
    const transformedBody = response.body
      // Decode the binary-encoded response to string
      .pipeThrough(new TextDecoderStream())
      // Apply the LipFuzzTransformer
      .pipeThrough(ts)
      // Encode the transformed string
      .pipeThrough(new TextEncoderStream());
    return new Response(transformedBody);
  })
);
</xmp>

<p class="warning">For simplicity, <code>LipFuzzTransformer</code> performs unescaped text
substitutions. In real applications, a template system that performs context-aware escaping is good
practice for security and robustness.

<h3 id="example-ts-sync-mapper">A transform stream created from a sync mapper function</h3>

The following function allows creating new {{TransformStream}} instances from synchronous "mapper"
functions, of the type you would normally pass to {{Array.prototype/map|Array.prototype.map}}. It
demonstrates that the API is concise even for trivial transforms.

<xmp highlight="js">
function mapperTransformStream(mapperFunction) {
  return new TransformStream({
    transform(chunk, controller) {
      controller.enqueue(mapperFunction(chunk));
    }
  });
}
</xmp>

This function can then be used to create a {{TransformStream}} that uppercases all its inputs:

<xmp highlight="js">
const ts = mapperTransformStream(chunk => chunk.toUpperCase());
const writer = ts.writable.getWriter();
const reader = ts.readable.getReader();

writer.write("No need to shout");

// Logs "NO NEED TO SHOUT":
reader.read().then(({ value }) => console.log(value));
</xmp>

Although a synchronous transform never causes backpressure itself, it will only transform chunks as
long as there is no backpressure, so resources will not be wasted.

Exceptions error the stream in a natural way:

<xmp highlight="js">
const ts = mapperTransformStream(chunk => JSON.parse(chunk));
const writer = ts.writable.getWriter();
const reader = ts.readable.getReader();

writer.write("[1, ");

// Logs a SyntaxError, twice:
reader.read().catch(e => console.error(e));
writer.write("{}").catch(e => console.error(e));
</xmp>

<h3 id="example-identity-transform-usages">Using an identity transform stream as a primitive to
create new readable streams</h3>

Combining an [=identity transform stream=] with {{pipeTo()}} is a powerful way to manipulate
streams. This section contains a couple of examples of this general technique.

It's sometimes natural to treat a promise for a [=readable stream=] as if it were a readable stream.
A simple adapter function is all that's needed:

<xmp highlight="js">
function promiseToReadable(promiseForReadable) {
  const ts = new TransformStream();

  promiseForReadable
      .then(readable => readable.pipeTo(ts.writable))
      .catch(reason => ts.writable.abort(reason))
      .catch(() => {});

  return ts.readable;
}
</xmp>

Here, we pipe the data to the [=writable side=] and return the [=readable side=]. If the pipe
errors, we [=abort a writable stream|abort=] the writable side, which automatically propagates the
error to the returned readable side. If the writable side had already been errored by
{{ReadableStream/pipeTo()}}, then the {{WritableStream/abort()}} call will return a rejection, which
we can safely ignore.

A more complex extension of this is concatenating multiple readable streams into one:

<xmp highlight="js">
function concatenateReadables(readables) {
  const ts = new TransformStream();
  let promise = Promise.resolve();

  for (const readable of readables) {
    promise = promise.then(
     () => readable.pipeTo(ts.writable, { preventClose: true }),
     reason => {
       return Promise.all([
         ts.writable.abort(reason),
         readable.cancel(reason)
       ]);
     }
   );
  }

  promise.then(() => ts.writable.close(),
               reason => ts.writable.abort(reason))
         .catch(() => {});

  return ts.readable;
}
</xmp>

The error handling here is subtle because canceling the concatenated stream has to cancel all the
input streams. However, the success case is simple enough. We just pipe each stream in the
<code>readables</code> iterable one at a time to the [=identity transform stream=]'s [=writable
side=], and then close it when we are done. The [=readable side=] is then a concatenation of all the
chunks from all of of the streams. We return it from the function. Backpressure is applied as usual.
