Asynchronous programming is crucial in web development, and JavaScript's single-threaded nature relies on Promises for managing non-blocking operations.
Promises act as proxies for values that may resolve in the future, enhancing code readability and reducing callback hell.
Promises have three states: Pending, Fulfilled, and Rejected, and once settled, they become immutable.
Consuming Promises involves using .then() for resolution, .catch() for errors, and .finally() for executing code regardless of outcome. Promise chaining and error handling are key features.
