Unarchive from a stream of bytes

codedread opened this issue 7 years ago · 3 comments

Today, the unarchivers require the entire ArrayBuffer to be available before it can start unarchiving. This works fine for local files, but for anything else (network fetches) it requires the entire file to be downloaded before unarchiving can begin.

Should investigate reworking the code and API to deal with a stream of bytes.
