The Map operator applies a function of your choosing to each item emitted by the source Observable, and returns an Observable that emits the results of these function applications.

RxGroovy implements this operator as map. For example, the following code maps a
function that squares the incoming value onto the values in numbers:
numbers = Observable.from([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
numbers.map({it * it}).subscribe(
{ println(it); }, // onNext
{ println("Error: " + it.getMessage()); }, // onError
{ println("Sequence complete"); } // onCompleted
);1 4 9 16 25 Sequence complete
This operator does not by default operate on any particular Scheduler.
map(Func1)
The cast operator is a specialized version of Map that
transforms each item from the source Observable by casting it into a particular Class before reemitting
it.
cast(Class)
In the StringObservable class that is not part of the RxGroovy core there is also a
specialty mapping operator, encode, that transforms an Observable that emits strings into
an Observable that emits byte arrays that respect character boundaries of multibyte characters in the
original strings.
Also in the StringObservable class that is not part of the RxGroovy core there is a
specialty mapping operator called byLine, that transforms an Observable that emits strings
into an Observable that emits lines of text, by buffering the strings from the source Observable until a
line-feed is found in one of them.
RxJava implements this operator as map.
This operator does not by default operate on any particular Scheduler.

RxJS implements this operator as map or select (the two are
synonymous). In addition to the transforming function, you may pass this operator an optional
second parameter that will become the “this” context in which the
transforming function will execute.
The transforming function gets three parameters:
// Using a value
var md = Rx.Observable.fromEvent(document, 'mousedown').map(true);
var mu = Rx.Observable.fromEvent(document, 'mouseup').map(false);
// Using a function
var source = Rx.Observable.range(1, 3)
.select(function (x, idx, obs) {
return x * x;
});
var subscription = source.subscribe(
function (x) { console.log('Next: ' + x); },
function (err) { console.log('Error: ' + err); },
function () { console.log('Completed'); });Next: 1 Next: 4 Next: 9 Completed
There is also an operator called pluck which is a simpler version of this
operator. It transforms the elements emitted by the source Observable by extracting a
single named property from those elements and emitting that property in their place.
var source = Rx.Observable
.fromArray([
{ value: 0 },
{ value: 1 },
{ value: 2 }
])
.pluck('value');
var subscription = source.subscribe(
function (x) { console.log('Next: ' + x); },
function (err) { console.log('Error: ' + err); },
function () { console.log('Completed'); });Next: 0 Next: 1 Next: 2 Completed
map/select and pluck are found in each of the
following distributions:

RxPHP implements this operator as map.
Takes a transforming function that operates on each element.
//from https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxPHP/blob/master/demo/map/map.php
$observable = \Rx\Observable::fromArray([21, 42]);
$observable
->map(function ($elem) {
return $elem * 2;
})
->subscribe($stdoutObserver);
Next value: 42
Next value: 84
Complete!
RxPHP also has an operator mapWithIndex.
Maps operator variant that calls the map selector with the index and value
//from https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxPHP/blob/master/demo/map/mapWithIndex.php
$subscriptions = Rx\Observable::fromArray([21, 42])
->mapWithIndex(function ($index, $elem) {
return $index + $elem;
})
->subscribe($stdoutObserver);
Next value: 21
Next value: 43
Complete!
RxPHP also has an operator mapTo.
Maps every value to the same value every time
//from https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxPHP/blob/master/demo/map/mapTo.php
$subscription = Rx\Observable::fromArray([21, 42])
->mapTo(1)
->subscribe($stdoutObserver);
Next value: 1
Next value: 1

RxPHP also has an operator select.
