### Streaming Write
The streaming write functions are available in the `XLSX.stream` object. They
take the same arguments as the normal write functions but return a Readable
Stream. They are only exposed in NodeJS.
- `XLSX.stream.to_csv` is the streaming version of `XLSX.utils.sheet_to_csv`.
- `XLSX.stream.to_html` is the streaming version of `XLSX.utils.sheet_to_html`.
- `XLSX.stream.to_json` is the streaming version of `XLSX.utils.sheet_to_json`.
