What are some examples of asynchronous iteration in programming?

Can you explain what asynchronous iteration is?

Asynchronous iteration allows you to work with data that is retrieved asynchronously, using constructs like 'for await...of'.

Can you give me an example of asynchronous iteration in JavaScript?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

async function fetchData() {
    const data = [1, 2, 3];
    for await (const item of data) {
        console.log(item);
    }
}
fetchData();

What are the benefits of using asynchronous iteration?

The main benefits include improved performance, non-blocking code execution, and better handling of I/O operations.

Are there any drawbacks to using it?

Yes, it can introduce complexity in error handling and may not be supported in all environments.
