const options = {
    delimiter: ':', //default value, separates header from payload
    trailing: '\n' //default value, signifies end of payload
};
const decoder = new netstring.Decoder(options);
const encoder = new netstring.Encoder(options);

//Read netstring data
socket.on('data', (data) => {
    decoder.pumpArray(data);
    if(decoder.state === 'complete')
    {
        //Do something with data
        const byteArray = decoder.getLatestMessage();
    }
})

//Frame netstring data
const message = Encoder.encode(SOME_DATA);
socket.write(new Buffer(message.buffer));
