RxJava and Other Reactive Streams
Learn about the alternative approach in Java and see the solution to thread-switching problems with the successor Reactor.
We'll cover the following
An alternative approach that is popular in Java (both in Android and backend) is using reactive streams (or Reactive Extensions): RxJava, or its successor, Reactor. With this approach, all operations happen inside a data stream that can be started, processed, and observed. These streams support thread switching and concurrent processing, so they're often used to parallelize processing in applications.
