The best RxSwift alternatives

3 tools that do a similar job to RxSwift, 3 of them open source. Each entry says what it does and who it suits, so you can pick the one that fits instead of the most famous.

You're replacing

RxSwift

How we pick: tools in the same category that solve the same problem, projects that name each other as alternatives, and open-source projects that describe themselves as an alternative to RxSwift. We don't take payment for placement.
