strip-bom-stream

Strip UTF-8 byte order mark (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

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.
