`loadstreaming` and `savestreaming` implementations?

I wasn't able to find any package in the JuliaIO org that implements the functions loadstreaming and savestreaming. Are there any?

Do you mean read and write (from Base)?

goretkin commented

I found one here:
https://github.com/JuliaAudio/LibSndFile.jl/blob/e431d21ccbd50029c3f2feeac602afd528a18e75/src/loadsave.jl

but it's the only one I found beside the example in the README.

I have an implementation in MaGe.jl, but it's not even registered, nor is it in the FileIO registry. But it's there if you want a reference.

Thanks!

https://github.com/Luapulu/MaGe.jl/blob/75ec88413b8a994d4230ddb985f0838c3b556e32/src/root-hit-files.jl#L87-L98

I opened this issue because I was trying to get a handle on when to use this API, and I think I was surprised not to find it used more. e.g. loadstreaming does not appear here: https://github.com/JuliaIO/VideoIO.jl/blob/7e05dc3451a38885ff6e762da7899783aa5aa6ee/docs/src/reading.md , though the file is read in a streaming manner.

That's odd!

I should note that because my package isn't actually in the file format registry, the implementation is slightly different to what it will be when registered. (I don't dispatch on the format for example)

I'm not sure there's a TODO here? There's also an implementation in the test suite.
