Node.js FAQ: Top Questions

9. What is async/await in Node.js?

async/await is a syntactic sugar over Promises, allowing asynchronous code to be written in a synchronous-looking style, introduced in Node.js 8 (ES2017).

  • async: Declares a function that returns a Promise.
  • await: Pauses execution until a Promise resolves, only in async functions.
  • Error Handling: Use try/catch for errors.
  • Use Case: Clean, readable async code.
