## Asynchronous Error Handling

Handling errors in asynchronous code can be tricky. In synchronous code, errors are caught immediately, but with asynchronous operations like API calls, errors may occur later. You'll handle them in callbacks or promises, so you need to be prepared. We'll cover how to manage these errors using promises and `async/await` in the section below.

description: Handling asynchronous errors is a bit more complex than synchronous errors. The issue is that the code that generates the error is not directly responsible for handling the error. Instead, the error will be handled by the callback function that is executed when the asynchronous operation is complete.

A common example is when using the `fetch` API to download some data from a server. The `fetch` API returns a promise that resolves with the server response. If the server returns an error, the promise will reject with the error.

Proper error handling in asynchronous operations is crucial for building resilient JavaScript applications. By following the examples and best practices outlined in this guide, you can ensure that your code gracefully handles errors, provides meaningful feedback to users, and maintains overall application stability. Always remember to handle errors in every asynchronous operation, use try...catch with async/await for readability, and implement centralized error handling for larger applications. With these strategies, you can effectively manage asynchronous errors and create more reliable and user-friendly applications.
