What are the benefits of async/await?

What are the benefits of using async/await in JavaScript?

Async/await simplifies asynchronous code, making it easier to read and maintain compared to traditional callbacks.

Can you explain how it improves error handling?

Sure! With async/await, you can use try/catch blocks to handle errors, which is more intuitive than handling errors in callbacks.

Does it have any performance drawbacks?

Generally, no. Async/await is built on Promises, so it doesn't introduce significant overhead, but it can affect performance in some edge cases.

Are there any scenarios where I shouldn't use async/await?

Yes, for very simple asynchronous tasks, using callbacks or Promises directly might be more straightforward.
