> Strip UTF-8 [byte order mark](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark#UTF-8) (BOM) from a stream
|
|
|
|
From Wikipedia:
|
|
|
|
> The Unicode Standard permits the BOM in UTF-8, but does not require nor recommend its use. Byte order has no meaning in UTF-8.
|

|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ npm install --save strip-bom-stream
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```js

var fs = require('fs');
|
|
var stripBomStream = require('strip-bom-stream');
|
|
|
|
fs.createReadStream('unicorn.txt')
|
|
