Scala Reactive Programming

Building blocks of RxScala

RXScala has three major building blocks or components to perform asynchronous stream programming—Observable, Subscription, and Observer:

Here, we can observe the following things:

• Observable works as a producer; that means it emits the data
• Observer works as a consumer; that means it consumes the data
• Subscription works as a channel between Observable and Observer to emit and consume data through this channel

The following diagram shows the relationship between RxScala components and how they work with each other:

There are two more components to perform the asynchronous data stream processing:

• Subscriber
• Scheduler ...
