Async is a utility module which provides straight-forward, powerful functions for working with [asynchronous JavaScript](http://caolan.github.io/async/v3/global.html). Although originally designed for use with [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) and installable via `npm i async`, it can also be used directly in the browser. A ESM/MJS version is included in the main `async` package that should automatically be used with compatible bundlers such as Webpack and Rollup.
A pure ESM version of Async is available as [`async-es`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/async-es).
