When.js is a Promises/A+ compliant promise library for JavaScript with an ES6 Promise shim and rich async utilities like parallel/sequential task execution, promise mapping/reduction, and Node callback conversion. It is a standalone component of the cujoJS architectural toolkit.

Use cases

  • manage nested callback flows with promises
  • run async tasks in parallel or sequentially
  • convert node-style callback APIs to promises
  • resolve arrays and hashes of promises
  • shim ES6 Promise in older environments

When to choose

  • you need a battle-tested Promises/A+ implementation for legacy JS environments
  • you want rich async combinators like map, reduce, and parallel task execution
  • you need an ES6 Promise shim with debugging-friendly promises

When to avoid

  • you are targeting modern JavaScript with native Promises and async/await
  • you want an actively developed library with frequent updates
