is have been studying rsocket and reactive programming for a while and quite often spring webflux is mentioned i wanted to ask whats the difference between the rsocket and spring webflux or are they same things.Thanks
RSocket (https://rsocket.io) provides a protocol for Reactive Streams semantics between client-server, and server-server communication. It allows you to use Flow (Flux), or a single response (Mono) over a network with various semantics and bidirectionally.
Spring Webflow (https://spring.io/projects/spring-webflow) is a way to build a webapp with reactive stream semantics for non blocking operations.
Typically you might combine these, such as your backend connecting to other services using RSocket, or you might choose for some clients (e.g. Javscript running in the browser) to talk to the server using RSocket over WebSockets for streaming events.
