split-by-header

Split binary streams by length fields in messages' headers.

Use this for example to parse streaming data without writing a streaming parser if your chunks are reasonably small.

Usage

var split = require('split-by-header');
 
// The header is a one byte int
var splitter = split('UInt8');
 
splitter.on('data', console.log);
// => <Buffer 01 01>>
 
splitter.write(new Buffer([3, 1, 1]));
