Learning Reactive Programming with Java 8

An HTTP client example

Let's use RxJava to retrieve information about the GitHub repositories of a user by username. We will use our subscribePrint() function used previously to output the information to the system output. The idea of the program is to display all of the public repositories of the user that are not forks. The main part of the program looks like this:
