响应式处理数据流
Progressive Stream Processing and manipulation is an important task in modern Web Programming, starting from chunked upload/download to Live Data Streams consumption, creation, composition and publishing through different technologies including Comet and WebSockets.
Iteratees provide a paradigm and an API allowing this manipulation, while focusing on several important aspects:
- Allowing the user to create, consume and transform streams of data.
- Treating different data sources in the same manner (Files on disk, Websockets, Chunked Http, Data Upload, …).
- Composable: using a rich set of adapters and transformers to change the shape of the source or the consumer - construct your own or start with primitives.
- Being able to stop data being sent mid-way through, and being informed when source is done sending data.
- Non blocking, reactive and allowing control over resource consumption (Thread, Memory)
