Angular 6 - Observable explanation in plain English

I\'m looking for a plain English explanation of what an Observable is in RXJS.

Answer 1

My understanding of Observable is like you ask Siri (or other stuff) "what is the weather tomorrow". Siri will give you the answer for sure and that 'item' inside Siri which contain the answer is 'Observable'.
