ReactiveX

ReactiveX (from Reactive Extensions) is a software library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs by using observable sequences.

It extends the observer pattern to support sequences of data and/or events and adds operators that allow you to compose sequences together declaratively while abstracting away concerns about things like low-level threading, synchronization, thread-safety, concurrent data structures, and non-blocking I/O.

ReactiveX provides a set of sequence operators that operate on each item in the sequence. For example, a JSON object with repeating data records can be processed record by record.
