What are async iterables in JavaScript?

Async iterables are a way to work with asynchronous data streams in JavaScript, allowing you to iterate over data that is fetched or generated asynchronously.

Can you give me an example of how to use async iterables?

Sure! You can create an async iterable using a generator function. Here's a simple example:

async function* asyncGenerator() {
    yield 'Hello';
    yield 'World';
}

for await (const value of asyncGenerator()) {
    console.log(value);
}

What are the benefits of using async iterables?

Async iterables allow for more readable and maintainable code when dealing with asynchronous data, especially when combined with for await...of loops.

Are there any limitations to async iterables?

Yes, async iterables can only be used in environments that support ES2018 or later, and they may not be as widely supported in older browsers.
