Coroutines is a Kotlin feature that simplifies asynchronous programming by allowing developers to write sequential code that handles concurrency. Coroutines manage background tasks, like network calls or database operations, without blocking the main thread. They offer a more structured way of handling concurrency compared to traditional callbacks or threads. With Kotlin Coroutines, developers can easily scale applications to handle multiple tasks simultaneously, improving app performance and responsiveness. This feature is commonly used in Android for tasks such as updating the UI after background processing or managing long-running operations efficiently.
