Can you use 2 async functions at the same time when working with 2 .json files? (Two different .json text files)

Question

If not then how can you work with 2 .json files at the same time? It does't seem to work so if there exists another method I should try and use that. If you could provide the correct syntax to achieve the goal it would be appreciated. Does the second .json file ever get processed?

sync function populate() {

    const requestURL = 'nascar.json';
    const request = new Request(requestURL);
    
    const response = await fetch(request);
    const nascarDrivers = await response.json();
    
    findDriver(nascarDrivers);
}

async function texas() {

    const requestURL = 'texasMS.json';
    const request = new Request(requestURL);
    
    const response = await fetch(request);
    const texasLaps = await response.json();
    
    findLaps(texasLaps);
}

Answer 1

If you run them one by one, without awaiting them, they will run in parallel (sort-of).

populate()
texas()

If you want to wait for the results as they come back, you can use Promise.all:

const promises = [
  populate(),
  texas(),
]
Promise.all(promises).then((results) => {
  const [populateRes, texasRes] = results
  // ...
})
// or
const results = await Promise.all(promises)
