What is Rx?

Reactive Extensions (Rx) is a programming paradigm and a set of libraries for composing asynchronous and event-based programs using observable sequences. It allows developers to treat streams of data and events as collections that can be manipulated with standard query operators, enabling more responsive, resilient, and elastic applications. Rx is commonly used for handling user interface events, processing real-time data streams, and building complex event-driven systems.
