What is async/await in Node.js?

Async/await is a syntax for working with asynchronous code in Node.js, making it easier to read and write.

How does it differ from callbacks?

Unlike callbacks, async/await allows you to write asynchronous code that looks synchronous, reducing callback hell.

Can you show me a simple example?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

async function fetchData() {
    const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data');
    const data = await response.json();
    return data;
}

What happens if an error occurs?

You can handle errors using try/catch blocks around your await calls to catch any exceptions that may occur.
