How does asyncio compare to threading?

Can you explain how asyncio compares to threading in Python?

Sure! Asyncio is designed for concurrent code execution using the async/await syntax, while threading uses multiple threads.

What are the advantages of using asyncio over threading?

Asyncio is generally more efficient for I/O-bound tasks, as it avoids the overhead of thread management and context switching.

Are there any downsides to using asyncio?

Yes, asyncio can be more complex to implement and may not be suitable for CPU-bound tasks, where threading might be better.

Can you give an example of when to use each?

Use asyncio for tasks like web scraping or network requests, and threading for tasks like parallel computations.
