Reactive Streams is a concept. Many third-party vendors provide the implementation to support reactive programming. Here, we will get a number of approaches and libraries to deal with reactive programming, as discussed next.
RxJava is a Java virtual machine implementation of ReactiveX; it promises to be a lightweight library. RxJava supports asynchronous event handling using push style rather than supporting pulling of messages. It's been supported by Java 6 and later versions. The following are the external libraries with which RxJava can work:
- Camel RX: This facilitates the reuse of the Apache Camel components, protocols, transports, and data formats with the RxJava API with ease.
- rxjava-http-rail: This allows developers to follow logs over HTTP.
- Hystrix: This facilitates reactive programming by providing a library supporting latency and fault tolerance bulk heading.
- rxjava-jdbc: This facilitates the use of RxJava with JDBC connections...
