Now, as we have been discussing Reactive Programming since Chapter 1, Introduction to Reactive Programming, we all are well aware that it is all about data flow. However, we need to go in depth to master it. We will start by briefly discussing the Java Collection framework. Each one of us handles the Collection quite confidently with regard to handling a bunch of data. The Collection framework is just an arrangement of data according to a specific data structure. It can be as simple as an ArrayList or something as complex as a HashMap. Each provides a specific strategy for the arrangement of elements. It also restricts developers. Let's take the example of a stack. We can pull and push only the topmost element. We cannot fetch the last element or elements from any particular position. What do we do now? We find a solution to fetch elements...

Overview of this book
<p>Reactive programming is an asynchronous programming model that helps you tackle the essential complexity that comes with writing such applications.</p>
<p>Using Reactive programming to start building applications is not immediately intuitive to a developer who has been writing programs in the imperative paradigm. To tackle the essential complexity, Reactive programming uses declarative and functional paradigms to build programs. This book sets out to make the paradigm shift easy.</p>
<p>This book begins by explaining what Reactive programming is, the Reactive manifesto, and the Reactive Streams specifi cation. It uses Java 9 to introduce the declarative and functional paradigm, which is necessary to write programs in the Reactive style. It explains Java 9’s Flow API, an adoption of the Reactive Streams specifi cation. From this point on, it focuses on RxJava 2.0, covering topics such as creating, transforming,fi ltering, combining, and testing Observables. It discusses how to use Java’s popular framework, Spring, to build event-driven, Reactive applications. You will also learn how to implement resiliency patterns using Hystrix. By the end, you will be fully equipped with the tools and techniques needed to implement robust, event-driven, Reactive applications.</p>
