Optional chaining (?.) in JavaScript allows you to safely access deeply nested object properties without throwing errors.
Before optional chaining, accessing nested properties required verbose and error-prone checks for each level of the object.
Optional chaining simplifies property access by returning undefined if any part of the chain is null or undefined, making code cleaner and safer.
Best used when working with objects that may not have all expected properties, optional chaining in JavaScript enhances code readability and maintenance.
