File Processing Benchmark App "Node.JS Streams vs readFile demo"

Application Overview

This application is designed to compare the fs.readFile and fs.createReadStream methods in Node.js. The goal is to evaluate the file opening times and the asynchronous response times of these functions.

Features

• UI Layer: The application includes a user interface that allows easy switching between file processing methods and selecting the appropriate file based on its size.
• Method Comparison: Users can choose between fs.readFile and fs.createReadStream methods and observe the differences in file processing times.

Usage

1. Install dependencies:

   npm install

2. Run the application:

   npm start

3. Access the application: Open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000.
