Rx

Definitions

1. Short for Reactive Extensions — a family of libraries (RxJava, RxSwift, RxJS, Rx.NET) that implement the Observable pattern for composing asynchronous and event-based programs using operator chains like map, filter, flatMap, and debounce over push-based data streams.

   In plain English: A programming approach where you treat streams of events (like user clicks or data updates) as sequences you can filter, transform, and combine.

   Example: "We modeled the search input as an Rx stream — debounce 300ms, switchMap to the API call, and the previous in-flight request cancels automatically."
