This library provides adapters between RxJava and Reactive Streams. The Reactive Streams standard defines an API and runtime semantics for reactive data streams, that different tools can implement in order to interoperate with each other. This library allows RxJava to interoperate with other implementors of the Reactive Streams API.

It provides the following API:

package rx;

import org.reactivestreams.Publisher;

public abstract class RxReactiveStreams {

    public static <T> Publisher<T> toPublisher(Observable<T> observable) { … }

    public static <T> Observable<T> toObservable(Publisher<T> publisher) { … }

    public static <T> Publisher<T> toPublisher(Single<T> observable) { … }

    public static <T> Single<T> toSingle(Publisher<T> publisher) { … }

    public static <T> Publisher<T> toPublisher(Completable observable) { … }

    public static Completable toCompletable(Publisher<?> publisher) { … }

}

These methods can be used to convert between the Reactive Streams Publisher type, and RxJava's Observable type.

Some examples of this library being used for interop are available as part of this repository.

See the Reactive Streams website for links to other libraries that implement the Reactive Streams API, and can therefore interoperate with RxJava via these methods.
