   1 # Decode streams into strings The Right Way(tm)
   2
   3 ```javascript
   4 var fs   = require('fs')
   5 var zlib = require('zlib')
   6 var strs = require('stringstream')
   7
   8 var utf8Stream = fs.createReadStream('massiveLogFile.gz')
   9   .pipe(zlib.createGunzip())
  10   .pipe(strs('utf8'))
  11 ```
  12
  13 No need to deal with `setEncoding()` weirdness, just compose streams
  14 like they were supposed to be!
  15
  16 Handles input and output encoding:
  17
  18 ```javascript
  19 // Stream from utf8 to hex to base64... Why not, ay.
  20 var hex64Stream = fs.createReadStream('myFile')
  21   .pipe(strs('utf8', 'hex'))
  22   .pipe(strs('hex', 'base64'))
  23 ```
  24
  25 Also deals with `base64` output correctly by aligning each emitted data
  26 chunk so that there are no dangling `=` characters:
  27
  28 ```javascript
  29 var stream = fs.createReadStream('myFile').pipe(strs('base64'))
  30
  31 var base64Str = ''
  32
  33 stream.on('data', function(data) { base64Str += data })
  34 stream.on('end', function() {
  35   console.log('My base64 encoded file is: ' + base64Str) // Wouldn't work with setEncoding()
  36   console.log('Original file is: ' + new Buffer(base64Str, 'base64'))
  37 })
  38 ```
