Async/Await in JavaScript
async/await is syntactic sugar over Promises that makes asynchronous code read like synchronous code. Under the hood, it still uses the event loop.
How It Works
- async function — always returns a Promise
- await — pauses execution until the Promise resolves
- try/catch — handle rejections just like synchronous errors
- Promise.all — run multiple async operations in parallel
