What are async iterators and how do they work?

Async iterators are a way to handle asynchronous data streams in JavaScript, allowing you to iterate over data that arrives over time.

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

Sure! You can create an async iterator using the async function* syntax. 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 iterators?

Async iterators simplify working with streams of data, making it easier to handle asynchronous operations without deeply nested callbacks.

Are async iterators supported in all browsers?

Most modern browsers support async iterators, but it's always good to check compatibility if you're targeting older browsers.
