Flow is intended to fulfill three roles: |
|---|
| 5 |
|
|---|
| 6 |
1) A lightweight streaming framework for data and objects. |
|---|
| 7 |
|
|---|
| 8 |
2) A set of pre-made stream elements for various tasks, including network |
|---|
| 9 |
and file system interaction. |
|---|
| 10 |
|
|---|
| 11 |
3) High-level API for easy-to-use network and file system access, hiding the |
|---|
| 12 |
complexity of the underlying stream model. |
|---|
| 13 |
