The 'stream/web' API is based on the WHATWG Streams standard, offering a more modern, promise-based, and composable way to handle streams, aligning with browser APIs. The older 'stream' module is the traditional Node.js stream implementation, which is more event-driven. While both are powerful, 'stream/web' is intended for future compatibility and consistency with web standards.
