What is RxJS and how can I use it in my projects?

RxJS is a library for reactive programming using Observables, making it easier to work with asynchronous data streams.

Can you give me an example of how to create an Observable?

Sure! You can create an Observable using the new Observable() constructor. Here's a simple example:

import { Observable } from 'rxjs';

const myObservable = new Observable(subscriber => {
  subscriber.next('Hello');
  subscriber.next('World');
  subscriber.complete();
});

myObservable.subscribe(value => console.log(value));

What are some common operators used in RxJS?

Some common operators include map, filter, mergeMap, and switchMap. They help transform and manage data streams.

How does RxJS compare to Promises?

RxJS Observables can handle multiple values over time, while Promises handle a single value at a time. Observables are more powerful for complex asynchronous scenarios.
