The constructors below are not in the current Streams spec.
ReadableByteStreamController()
ReadableStreamBYOBRequest()
ReadableStreamDefaultController()
WritableStreamDefaultController()
See whatwg/streams#1043 for confirmation from one of the spec editors that the constructors should be de-documented.
All of the corresponding MDN articles have been deleted.
The BCD data showed that none of them had ever been implemented in any browser engines — with the exception of
ReadableStreamDefaultController()
, which the data indicated as being implemented in Firefox. But I think that may have been incorrect — because I can’t find any evidence that constructor was in fact ever actually implemented in Firefox.
