## RxSwift supported operators

In some cases there are multiple aliases for the same operator, because on different platforms / implementations, the same operation is sometimes called differently. Sometimes this is because historical reasons, sometimes because of reserved language keywords.

When lacking a strong community consensus, RxSwift will usually include multiple aliases.

Operators are stateless by default.

#### Creating Observables

Creating new operators is also pretty straightforward.
