```
public class ReactiveStreams
extends java.lang.Object
```
Primary entry point into the Reactive Streams utility API.
This class provides factory methods for publisher and processor builders, which can then be subsequently manipulated using their respective APIs.
The documentation for each operator uses marble diagrams to visualize how the operator functions. Each element flowing in and out of the stream is represented as a coloured marble that has a value, with the operator applying some transformation or some side effect, termination and error signals potentially being passed, and for operators that subscribe to the stream, an output value being redeemed at the end.
Below is an example diagram labelling all the parts of the stream.

```
Create a ProcessorBuilder. This builder will start as an identity processor.

```
Concatenates two publishers.

The resulting stream will be produced by subscribing to the first publisher, and emitting the elements it emits, until it emits a completion signal, at which point the second publisher will be subscribed to, and its elements will be emitted.
If the first publisher completes with an error signal, then the second publisher will be subscribed to but immediately cancelled, none of its elements will be emitted. This ensures that hot publishers are cleaned up. If downstream emits a cancellation signal before the first publisher finishes, it will be passed to both publishers.

Type Parameters:

T - The type of stream elements.

Parameters:

a - The first publisher.

b - The second publisher.

Returns:

A publisher builder.

fromCompletionStage
```
public static <T> PublisherBuilder<T> fromCompletionStage(java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage<? extends T> completionStage)
```
Creates a publisher from a CompletionStage.

When the CompletionStage is redeemed, the publisher will emit the redeemed element, and then signal completion. If the completion stage is redeemed with null, the stream will be failed with a NullPointerException.
If the CompletionStage is completed with a failure, this failure will be propagated through the stream.

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the CompletionStage value.

Parameters:

completionStage - The CompletionStage to create the publisher from.

Returns:

A PublisherBuilder representation of this CompletionStage.

fromCompletionStageNullable
```
public static <T> PublisherBuilder<T> fromCompletionStageNullable(java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage<? extends T> completionStage)
```
Creates a publisher from a CompletionStage.

When the CompletionStage is redeemed, the publisher will emit the redeemed element, and then signal completion. If the completion stage is redeemed with null, the stream will be immediately completed with no element, ie, it will be an empty stream.
If the CompletionStage is completed with a failure, this failure will be propagated through the stream.

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the CompletionStage value.

Parameters:

completionStage - The CompletionStage to create the publisher from.

Returns:

A PublisherBuilder representation of this CompletionStage.

coupled

public static <T,R> ProcessorBuilder<T,R> coupled(SubscriberBuilder<? super T,?> subscriber,

Creates a ProcessorBuilder by coupling a SubscriberBuilder to a PublisherBuilder.

coupled marble diagram

The resulting processor sends all the elements received to the passed in subscriber, and emits all the elements received from the passed in publisher.

In addition, the lifecycles of the subscriber and publisher are coupled, such that if one terminates or receives a termination signal, the other will be terminated. Below is a table of what signals are emited when.

Lifecycle signal propagation
Returned ProcessorBuilder inlet	Passed in SubscriberBuilder	Passed in PublisherBuilder	Returned ProcessorBuilder outlet
Cause: complete from upstream	Effect: complete	Effect: cancel	Effect: complete
Cause: error from upstream	Effect: error	Effect: cancel	Effect: error
Effect: cancel	Cause: cancels	Effect: cancel	Effect: complete

Type Parameters:: T - The type of elements received.; R - The type of elements emitted.
Parameters:: subscriber - The subscriber builder to wrap.; publisher - The publisher builder to wrap.
