Async/Await in JavaScript
Async/await is syntactic sugar over Promises that makes asynchronous code look and behave like synchronous code. It's much easier to read and write than long .then chains.
Any function can be made async, and inside it you can await Promises.
Basic async Function
Using await
await pauses execution until the Promise resolves – only inside async functions.
Error Handling with try/catch
Parallel Execution
Async/Await vs .then Chains
Async/await is cleaner for sequential operations, while Promise.all is great for parallel.
