Introduction
Explore the fundamentals of RxJava as an asynchronous reactive programming library in Java. Understand key concepts like reactive streams, Flowable, schedulers, and how RxJava handles data processing with callbacks and threading. This lesson gives you a foundation for using RxJava 2 to build concurrent and event-driven applications.
We'll cover the following...
What is RxJava?
RxJava is the open-source library for reactive programming in Java that is part of the ReactiveX project. In short, RxJava is an asynchronous framework for handling data using callbacks, including callbacks for errors and completion.
ReactiveX is based on reactive streams and includes implementations in several languages, including rxjs, RxRuby, RxSwift, RxPHP, RxGroovy, and many more. Reactive Streams provide an abstraction ...
