`tap-reader` is a lightweight, streaming TAP (Test Anything Protocol) parser designed for Node.js environments, particularly for use with testing frameworks like `tape`. It efficiently processes TAP output in real-time, emitting events for test results, plans, comments, and summaries, making it ideal for CI/CD pipelines or custom test reporters. This project is tailored for developers and teams who need a fast, modular alternative to heavier TAP parsers like `tap-parser`.
