Combine is a
framework for handling asynchronous events by combining event-processing operators.
Combine makes your code easier to read and maintain by centralizing your event-processing code.
The GoogleMapsPlatformCombine library
is a Swift library that returns
Publishers
for the Maps SDK for iOS and Places SDK for iOS so that you can take advantage
of the rich set of Combine features.
