Chapter 10
Piping Your Data through Filters
In This Chapter
- Streaming your data through a series of filters
- Weighing the benefits and liabilities of a Pipes and Filters architecture
- Creating and using Pipes and Filters
In this chapter, I tell you about the pattern Pipes and Filters, which defines an architectural style for applications that stream data. The style also is useful when there are small transformations that can be done to the data in sequence, such as processing data through a series of discrete processing steps for which filters already exist.
