What is the IObservable<T> interface in Reactive Extensions (Rx.NET)?

Resposta

IObservable<T> is the fundamental interface in Rx.NET that represents a push-based data source. It exposes a Subscribe method allowing observers to subscribe to receive asynchronous notifications. It's the reactive counterpart to IEnumerable<T>: while IEnumerable pulls data synchronously, IObservable pushes data asynchronously to subscribers.

2

What are the three methods of the IObserver<T> interface in Rx.NET?

Resposta

IObserver<T> defines three methods: OnNext(T value) to receive each element of the sequence, OnError(Exception error) to handle errors and signal the end of the sequence in case of failure, and OnCompleted() to indicate that the sequence completed successfully. These three methods form the observer contract which guarantees that after OnError or OnCompleted, no further OnNext will be called.

What is the main difference between IEnumerable<T> and IObservable<T>?

Resposta

IEnumerable<T> is a pull model where the consumer requests data synchronously with GetEnumerator() and MoveNext(). IObservable<T> is a push model where the source pushes data asynchronously to subscribers via Subscribe(). IEnumerable blocks the calling thread during iteration, while IObservable enables non-blocking operations and composition of asynchronous events with LINQ operators.
