RxJava is a library for reactive programming in Java that allows working with asynchronous data streams.

Main components and abstractions of RxJava:

  • Observable — a data source that can emit a sequence of elements or events.
  • Observer — a subscriber that receives data from an Observable.
  • Subscriber — an extension of Observer with the ability to manage subscriptions (e.g., unsubscribe).
  • Operators — functions for transforming, filtering, combining, and other operations on data streams (e.g., map, filter, flatMap).
  • Schedulers — an abstraction for managing execution threads (e.g., executing on the main thread, background thread).

Example of usage:

Observable.just("Hello", "RxJava")
    .map(String::toUpperCase)
    .subscribe(System.out::println);

Here, the Observable emits strings, the map operator transforms them to uppercase, and the subscriber outputs them to the console.
