If it has already been done I appologize. They seem very similar to me. Is it just a matter of style? It seems like dataflow lends itself better to dealing with blocks/frames of data than the iostreams library. I would appreciate any clarification though. I believe I may have answered my own question, correct me if I am wrong. It seems to me that the main difference between boost::iostreams and boost::dataflow is the unit of work on which they operate.
boost::iostreams performs processing on a continuous stream of information boost::dataflow performs its processing in function blocks, where the output of one function is passed to the input of the next.
