Answer
Async iterators allow iteration over asynchronous data streams using for-await-of.
Useful for consuming streamed data or paginated API results.
Quick Answer
Async iterators work with for await...of. The iterable must implement Symbol.asyncIterator returning an object with a next() method that returns a Promise<{value, done}>. Used for reading streams, paginated APIs, or any async sequence: for await (const page of paginatedFetch(url)) { display(page); }. Cleaner than recursive async functions for sequential async data.
