# strip-bom-stream [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/strip-bom-stream.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/strip-bom-stream)
> 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')
.pipe(stripBomStream())
.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('unicorn.txt'));
```
It's a [Transform stream](http://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#stream_class_stream_transform).
