RxPHP is the ReactiveX implementation for PHP, providing a library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs using observable streams. It integrates with event loops like ReactPHP and supports interop with ReactPHP promises.

Use cases

• compose asynchronous event-based programs in PHP
• process streams of data with observable sequences
• convert between observables and ReactPHP promises
• handle timers and intervals reactively
• build reactive pipelines over arrays and events

When to choose

• you want ReactiveX-style observable streams in a PHP project
• you already use ReactPHP event loops or promises
• you need composable async/event handling with operators like flatMap and take

When to avoid

• you need high-performance async in a language with better concurrency support
• your project is synchronous and doesn't need event-driven patterns
• you need a maintained, actively developed reactive library for PHP
