title: In javascript on a browser, how is the microtask and webapi queue different?
body: <p>I never see a &quot;microtask&quot; queue referenced in online sources and I wondered if this is because the webapi queue is what the microtask is referring to?</p>
  <p>Here's a YouTube video that was viewed 1.5. million times that explains the JS event loop, but the &quot;microtask queue&quot; isn't even referenced: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aGhZQkoFbQ" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aGhZQkoFbQ</a></p>
  <p>ADDENDUM:
  This is a great resource to learn about tasks and microtask queues: <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTML_DOM_API/Microtask_guide/In_depth" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTML_DOM_API/Microtask_guide/In_depth</a>
  This link doesn't answer my question, but it does touch on the topic and provides some helpful clarity.</p>
