brianc/node-packet-reader

The node-packet-reader library provides a simple way to read length-prefixed binary packets from Node.js streams, handling the common problem of buffers arriving in random-sized chunks. It's useful for network protocols where packets are prefixed with their length, allowing developers to push in chunks of data and read out complete packets without manual buffer management. This library is intended for Node.js developers working with binary protocols over streams, such as TCP sockets.
