Description

Allow to use a stream on .src() so it could allow to use less memory instead of having all the file in memory on a Buffer object.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to modify the .src() method to accept both Buffer and stream (Readable) inputs. Ensure backward compatibility and handle back pressure. Look at existing decompress libraries for patterns.
