getReader()on the returned stream to get an object to use to read the data from the blob using methods such as theReadableStreamDefaultReaderinterface'sread()method. - Call the returned stream's
pipeTo()method to pipe the blob's data to a writable stream. - Call the returned stream's
tee()method to tee the readable stream. This returns an array containing two newReadableStreamobjects, each of which returns the contents of theBlob. - Call the returned stream's
pipeThrough()method to pipe the stream through aTransformStreamor any other readable and writable pair.
