+You can also consume feeds using async iteration.
+
+When using async iteration, prefer `stream.pipeline(...)` (or a promisified
+`stream.pipeline`) so stream errors are handled before data starts flowing. Async iterator usage with `pipeline` requires Node v12+.
+If you use `pipe()` or otherwise start writing to `FeedParser` before iteration
+begins, attach an `error` handler on `feedparser` yourself.
+
+```js
+var FeedParser = require('feedparser');
+var fetch = require('node-fetch');
+// stream/promises requires Node v15+ but the same behavior can be
+// attained by promisifying require('stream').pipeline
+var pipeline = require('stream/promises').pipeline;
+
+async function main() {
+  var res = await fetch('http://someurl.site/rss.xml');
+  if (res.status !== 200) throw new Error('Bad status code');
+
+  var feedparser = new FeedParser(options);
+
+  try {
+    await pipeline(
+      res.body,
+      feedparser,
+      async function (feedparserIterable) {
+        for await (var item of feedparserIterable) {
+          console.log(item.title);
+        }
+      }
+    )
+  } catch (err) {
+    console.error(err);
+  }
+}
+
+main();
+
+```

 You can also check out this nice [working implementation](https://github.com/scripting/feedRead) that demonstrates one way to handle all the hard and annoying stuff. :smiley:
