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
