Async is a utility module that provides powerful functions for working with asynchronous JavaScript. It simplifies the handling of asynchronous operations such as callbacks, promises, and async/await, making it easier to write clean and maintainable asynchronous code. Async offers a wide range of functions like parallel, series, waterfall, each, map, and more, allowing developers to control the flow of asynchronous tasks effectively.

Compared to native JavaScript asynchronous patterns, Async provides a more structured and readable way to manage asynchronous tasks. It is actively maintained and widely used in Node.js and browser environments, making it a popular choice for handling complex asynchronous workflows.
