Streaming Large Files

Process files without loading all.

The Problem with Loading All

Reading a multi-gigabyte file into memory with os.ReadFile can exhaust RAM. Instead, stream it: process chunks as they arrive.

Streaming Concept

Streaming means you keep only a small window of data in memory at once. Combined with buffering, you process arbitrarily large inputs with constant memory.
