+## Piping from Parser to Writer
+
+You can use `fast-csv` to pipe the output from a parsed CSV to a transformed CSV by setting the parser to `objectMode` and using `createWriteStream`.
+
+```javascript
+csv
+   .fromPath("in.csv", {headers: true})
+   .pipe(csv.createWriteStream({headers: true}))
+   .pipe(fs.createWriteStream("out.csv", {encoding: "utf8"}));
+```
+
+When piping from a parser to a formatter the transforms are maintained also.
+
+
+```javascript
+csv
+   .fromPath("in.csv", {headers: true})
+   .transform(function(obj){
+        return {
+            name: obj.Name,
+            address: obj.Address,
+            emailAddress: obj.Email_Address,
+            verified: obj.Verified
+        };
+   })
+   .pipe(csv.createWriteStream({headers: true}))
+   .pipe(fs.createWriteStream("out.csv", {encoding: "utf8"}));
+```
+
+The output will contain formatted result from the transform function.
