Netflix's RxJava

By following Microsoft's Rx library, Netflix has developed their own Rx library for the Java programming language, that is, RxJava.

RxJava stands for Reactive Extensions for Java. It became a base library for other JVM (Java Virtual Machine) languages. Many people have developed some adapters on top of this library.

For instance, RxScala is an Rx library for the Scala programming language. We will discuss Rx and the RxScala framework further in Chapter 5, Adding Reactiveness with RxScala.
