Has anyone reviewed the Stream API proposal from Microsoft? Here's the spec: http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/streams-api/raw-file/tip/Overview.htm
I see only a little mention of it on webapps-public: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2011OctDec/1494.html (I haven't looked over the proceedings from TPAC.) Thoughts on this API? My take: It seems useful to have a variant of Blob that supports data of unknown length. It seems a bit unfortunate to have StreamReader and FileReader, which are so similar. StreamBuilder seems like it may be unnecessary given that it does not support appending Streams. It seems like providing a way to get a Stream from a Blob would be sufficient, or if we could just pass Blobs to any API that takes a Stream, then we wouldn't need StreamBuilder. That is, Blobs should really just be Streams of known length. -Darin
