Reactor

Overview

The Reactor Project is an advanced framework that is organized into multiple projects such as reactor-core, reactor-netty, reactor-extra, and more community-driven integrations like reactor-kafka and reactor-rabbitmq. The Reactor Project provides a Bill of Materials (BOM) to ensure compatibility between these projects. The BOM simplifies dependency management by providing default artifact versions to use when adding dependencies to a project.

Features

• Modular Structure: Reactor Project is organized into multiple projects such as reactor-core, reactor-netty, and reactor-extra for better modularity and flexibility.
• Bill of Materials (BOM): Provides a curated set of compatible versions for all Reactor projects, ensuring smooth integration.
• Maven and Gradle Support: Supports both Maven and Gradle build systems, making it versatile for various project setups.
• Versioning Scheme: Follows a structured versioning scheme (YYYY.MINOR.MICRO-QUALIFIER) with associated codenames for release trains like Aluminium and Bismuth.
