Response streaming

See original GitHub issue

As of React 16 a new method renderToStream() method was introduced. I first though of creating a feature request issue at airbnb/hypernova-react but after taking a look at the code it seems that more ground-work needs to be done at the server itself to support streams in the first place.

@goatslacker mentioned in #22 that there are plans to support streams and even async rendering, it would be interesting if this was already started by anyone or if we could support you guys on this feature.

In the latter case it would be nice if we could collect all ideas/hints here on how to implement this feature correctly.

React 16 is out in beta right now I believe and the stream/async rendering has already landed so feel free to take it for a spin and report back what works/doesn’t work/what you’d like to work/how @Inkdpixels

Well - looking from outside - you can indeed decode a JSON Object using JSONStream - I made quite a lot implementations using that in reading - in writing my Scramjet…toJSONArray will easily deliver a JSON array (or object via another method) items in realtime while still provinding a proper JSON output for legacy and API use.

Can you elaborate a little on the code - maybe find a nice place to make a proof of concept? I could try and help.
