Use the Windows.Storage.Streams UWP API directly from Node.js

@nodert-win10-rs3/windows.storage.streams
=====

A Node.js wrapper for the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/Windows.Storage.Streams.aspx" target="_blank">Windows.Storage.Streams</a> WinRT namespace, compatible with Windows 10 APIs.

Using this module, you'll be able to consume the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/Windows.Storage.Streams.aspx" target="_blank">Windows.Storage.Streams</a> API directly from Node.js.

This module was automatically generated by <a href="https://github.com/NodeRT/NodeRT" target="_blank">NodeRT</a>. 
For more information on NodeRT and examples on how to use NodeRT modules, please visit the project page at: <a href="https://github.com/NodeRT/NodeRT" target="_blank">https://github.com/NodeRT/NodeRT</a>.

The API exposed by this module is (almost) the same as the API that is listed in: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/Windows.Storage.Streams.aspx" target="_blank">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/Windows.Storage.Streams.aspx</a>

The only difference in the API is in the way that asynchronous methods and events are used. (See <a href="https://github.com/NodeRT/NodeRT#ConsumingNodeRT" target="_blank">https://github.com/NodeRT/NodeRT#ConsumingNodeRT</a> for more details)

This module also contains TypeScript definition files for the API exposed by the module, as well as JavaScript intellisense support for <a href="http://nodejstools.codeplex.com/" target="_blank">Node.js tools for Visual Studio</a>.
