Not 100% sure what you mean with "data stream", but there's ByteReadChannel and ByteWriteChannel in <http://kotlinx.coroutines.io|kotlinx.coroutines.io>, which might be what your're looking for.

Ah sorry I forgot this term is overloaded now with Rx. What I mean is iOS has NSStream and Java/Kotlin has java.util.stream

I'm looking for an equivalent to that

I guess then ByteReadChannel is what you're looking for. We're using it for crypto streams, reporting download progress, reading files etc... It's a little bit confusing at the beginning since it's a channel, which works a little bit a different, but once you got it, things are actually easier. Ping me if you need help.

Gotcha. Thanks!

@wollnyst do you know of a sample mpp project that uses it?

erg nvm i think i figured this out. i was trying to pull in the dependency without specifying a version number 🤦‍♂️
