## What it is
EA Async is a Java library that brings .NET-style async-await semantics to the JVM by rewriting calls to Async.await at build time. It lets developers write asynchronous code that uses CompletableFutures in a sequential, blocking-looking style.

## Use cases
- write async-await style code in Java
- simplify chains of CompletableFutures
- make non-blocking code more readable
- avoid thenCompose callback nesting
- free worker threads while awaiting other processes

## When to avoid
- you use Kotlin or another JVM language with native async/coroutine support
- your project avoids bytecode instrumentation at build time
- you need a library with frequent updates and active development

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: concurrency, compiler
- domain: developer-tools, programming-languages, backend
- platform: jvm, cross-platform
- tags: async-await, completablefuture, bytecode-rewriting, non-blocking, build-tool-plugin
