Stream Evaluator Reference

Stream evaluators are different then stream sources or stream decorators. Both stream sources and stream decorators return streams of tuples. Stream evaluators are more like a traditional function that evaluates its parameters and returns an result. That result can be a single value, array, map or other structure.

Stream evaluators can be nested so that the output of an evaluator becomes the input for another evaluator.

Stream evaluators can be called in different contexts. For example a stream evaluator can be called on its own or it can be called within the context of a streaming expression.
