How can I implement web workers in my JavaScript application?

To implement web workers, you can create a new worker using the Worker constructor. Here's a basic example:

const myWorker = new Worker('worker.js');

This will run the code in 'worker.js' in a separate thread.

What kind of tasks are suitable for web workers?

Web workers are great for tasks that are computationally intensive or require a lot of processing time, such as image processing, data analysis, or handling large datasets without blocking the main thread.

How do I communicate with a web worker?

You can communicate with a web worker using the postMessage method to send data to the worker and the onmessage event to receive data back. For example:

myWorker.postMessage('Hello, worker!');
myWorker.onmessage = function(event) {
    console.log('Message from worker:', event.data);
};
