What is async/await in Node.js?

Can you explain what async/await is in Node.js?

Sure! Async/await is a syntax for working with asynchronous code in Node.js, making it easier to read and write.

How does it differ from using callbacks or promises?

Async/await allows you to write asynchronous code that looks synchronous, avoiding callback hell and making error handling simpler.

Can you give me a simple example of using async/await?

Absolutely! Here's a basic example:

async function fetchData() {
    const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data');
    const data = await response.json();
    return data;
}

This function fetches data from an API and waits for the response.

What happens if an error occurs in an async function?

If an error occurs, you can handle it using try/catch blocks around your await calls, just like with synchronous code.
