Package rx Description

Rx Observables

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

The Observable/Observer interfaces and associated operators (in the .operations package) are inspired by and attempt to conform to the Reactive Rx library in Microsoft .Net.

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

Compared with the Microsoft implementation:

• Observable == IObservable
• Observer == IObserver
• Subscription == IDisposable
• ObservableExtensions == Observable

Services which intend on exposing data asynchronously and wish to allow reactive processing and composition can implement the Observable interface which then allows Observers to subscribe to them and receive events.

Usage examples can be found on the Observable and Observer classes.
