Benchmark: promise vs callback vs async

Tests:

async
async function getData() { return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { setTimeout(() => { const data = 'Some data'; resolve(data); }, 0); }); } async function main() { const data = await getData(); console.log(data); } main();
callback
function getData(callback) { setTimeout(() => { const data = 'Some data'; callback(data); }, 0); } getData((data) => { console.log(data); });
promise
function getData() { return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { setTimeout(() => { const data = 'Some data'; resolve(data); }, 0); }); } getData().then((data) => { console.log(data)})
