Packet Frame

===========

Easy streaming packet framing and serialization.

# Install

```bash

npm install packet-frame

```

# What?

Framing a packet means wrapping the payload with a header and checksums to ensure they are valid, and having it's size set.

The frames are limited to 65k (uint16), a "magic" version is added, along with CRC32 to the header and to the payload, recursively.

You can choose to drop invalid payloads, or deal with it manually.

# How?

```es6

import { Parser } from 'packet-frame'

var stream = Parser.createStream({

    policy: 'drop' // default

})

net.createServer((socket) => {

    socket.pipe(stream).pipe(socket); // only the valid data is echoed back

})

```
