Byte stream refers to a sequence of bytes, which can be used to represent various types of data. Unit8Array is a JavaScript object that represents an array of bytes and is commonly used to manipulate binary data. ArrayBuffer is also a JavaScript object that represents a fixed-length container for binary data. Node stream is a concept specific to Node.js, which is used for handling data streams in a non-blocking manner.

In essence, byte streams represent binary data as a sequence of bytes, while Unit8Array and ArrayBuffer provide a more structured way to handle binary data in JavaScript. Node streams are specific to Node.js and are used to handle data streams in a non-blocking manner. Each of these concepts has different use cases and applications, depending on the specific needs of the program or application being developed.
