RxJava 2 2.2.21 · io.reactivex

Base reactive classes: io.reactivex.Flowable, io.reactivex.Observable, io.reactivex.Single, io.reactivex.Maybe and io.reactivex.Completable; base reactive consumers; other common base interfaces.

A library that enables subscribing to and composing asynchronous events and callbacks.

The Flowable/Subscriber, Observable/Observer, Single/SingleObserver and Completable/CompletableObserver interfaces and associated operators (in the io.reactivex.internal.operators package) are inspired by the Reactive Rx library in Microsoft .NET but designed and implemented on the more advanced Reactive Streams ( http://www.reactivestreams.org ) principles.

More information can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/gg577609.

Compared with the Microsoft implementation:

Observable == IObservable (base type)
Observer == IObserver (event consumer)
Disposable == IDisposable (resource/cancellation management)
Observable == Observable (factory methods)
Flowable == IAsyncEnumerable (backpressure)
Subscriber == IAsyncEnumerator

The Single and Completable reactive base types have no equivalent in Rx.NET as of 3.x.

Services which intend on exposing data asynchronously and wish to allow reactive processing and composition can implement the io.reactivex.Flowable, io.reactivex.Observable, io.reactivex.Single, io.reactivex.Maybe or io.reactivex.Completable class which then allow consumers to subscribe to them and receive events.

Usage examples can be found on the io.reactivex.Flowable/io.reactivex.Observable and org.reactivestreams.Subscriber classes.

Class Summary

Modifier and Type	Class and Description
public abstract class	Completable The `Completable` class represents a deferred computation without any value but only indication for completion or exception.
public abstract class	Flowable< the type of the items emitted by the Flowable T> The Flowable class that implements the Reactive Streams Pattern and offers factory methods, intermediate operators and the ability to consume reactive dataflows.
public abstract class	Maybe< the value type T> The `Maybe` class represents a deferred computation and emission of a single value, no value at all or an exception.
public class	Notification< the value type T> Represents the reactive signal types: onNext, onError and onComplete and holds their parameter values (a value, a Throwable, nothing).
public abstract class	Observable< the type of the items emitted by the Observable T> The Observable class is the non-backpressured, optionally multi-valued base reactive class that offers factory methods, intermediate operators and the ability to consume synchronous and/or asynchronous reactive dataflows.
public abstract class	Scheduler A `Scheduler` is an object that specifies an API for scheduling units of work provided in the form of `Runnable`s to be executed without delay (effectively as soon as possible), after a specified time delay or periodically and represents an abstraction over an asynchronous boundary that ensures these units of work get executed by some underlying task-execution scheme (such as custom Threads, event loop, `Executor` or Actor system) with some uniform properties and guarantees regardless of the particular underlying scheme.
public abstract class	Single< the type of the item emitted by the Single T> The `Single` class implements the Reactive Pattern for a single value response.

Modifier and Type	Enum and Description
