IxJS is a TypeScript library that brings Array#extras-style combinators like map, filter, and reduce to synchronous and asynchronous iterables, generators, and async generators. It serves as the pull-based counterpart to RxJS, unifying query composition over both sync and async collections.

Use cases

• compose and query async iterables with map/filter/reduce
• process streams of data pulled at the consumer's pace
• unify synchronous and asynchronous collection handling in JavaScript
• apply LINQ-style operators to generators
• handle I/O streams with backpressure-friendly pull semantics
• chain operators on async generators in Node.js

When to choose

• you need LINQ-like composition over iterables or async iterables
• your data is pull-based (I/O, file reads, paginated APIs) rather than push-based events
• you want a TypeScript-typed operator pipeline for generators
• you already use RxJS but need the pull-based counterpart

When to avoid

• you need push-based event streams where the producer controls the rate - use RxJS instead
• you only work with plain arrays and native Array methods suffice
• you need a full reactive streams library with schedulers and subjects
