+Node's `Buffer` class enables working with binary data in Javascript. A buffer allows a programme to store data temporarily outside the V8 engine's stack.
 
 Though not entirely accurate we can think of a buffer as an array of bytes, each byte is represented by a hexadecimal digit.
 
 The Node `Buffer` class is a global class and therefore does not need to be imported into a module.

-## Streams 
+## Streams
+
+Node's `stream` module is an API for working with streaming data. Streams enable working with data as it is received rather than waiting for the data to be fully loaded into memory.
+
+An example of streaming data is watching an online video broadcast. As the data is received the video can be displayed.
+
+Streams are instances of [`EventEmitter`](#events).
+
+## Working with streams
+
+To use the `stream` module it must be imported -
+
+`const stream = require('stream');`
