Hands-On Reactive Programming in Spring 5

Transforming reactive sequences with operators

When working with reactive sequences, besides creating and consuming a stream, it is vital to have the ability to transform and manipulate them flawlessly. Only then does reactive programming become a useful technique. Project Reactor provides instruments (methods and factory methods) for almost any required reactive transformation, and in general, we may categorize the features of the libraries as follows:

• Transforming existing sequences
• Methods for peeking at the sequences' processing
• Splitting and joining Flux sequences
• Working with time
• Returning data synchronously

Here, we cannot describe all of Reactor's operators and factory methods because it would take too many pages and it is almost ...
