  "readme": "# Async.js\n\nAsync is a utility module which provides straight-forward, powerful functions\nfor working with asynchronous JavaScript. Although originally designed for\nuse with [node.js](http://nodejs.org), it can also be used directly in the\nbrowser.\n\nAsync provides around 20 functions that include the usual 'functional'\nsuspects (map, reduce, filter, forEach…) as well as some common patterns\nfor asynchronous control flow (parallel, series, waterfall…). All these\nfunctions assume you follow the node.js convention of providing a single\ncallback as the last argument of your async function.\n\n\n## Quick Examples\n\n    async.map(['file1','file2','file3'], fs.stat, function(err, results){\n        // results is now an array of stats for each file\n    });\n\n    async.filter(['file1','file2','file3'], path.exists, function(results){\n        // results now equals an array of the existing files\n    });\n\n    async.parallel([\n        function(){ ... },\n        function(){ ... }\n    ], callback);\n\n    async.series([\n        function(){ ... },\n        function(){ ... }\n    ]);\n\nThere are many more functions available so take a look at the docs below for a\nfull list. This module aims to be comprehensive, so if you feel anything is\nmissing please create a GitHub issue for it.\n\n\n## Download\n\nReleases are available for download from\n[GitHub](http://github.com/caolan/async/downloads).\nAlternatively, you can install using Node Package Manager (npm):\n\n    npm install async\n\n\n__Development:__ [async.js](https://github.com/caolan/async/raw/master/lib/async.js) - 17.5kb Uncompressed\n\n__Production:__ [async.min.js](https://github.com/caolan/async/raw/master/dist/async.min.js) - 1.7kb Packed and Gzipped\n\n\n## In the Browser\n\nSo far its been tested in IE6, IE7, IE8, FF3.6 and Chrome 5. Usage:\n\n    <script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"async.js\"></script>\n    <script type=\"text/javascript\">\n\n        async.map(data, asyncProcess, function(err, results){\n            alert(results);\n        });\n\n    </script>\n\n\n## Documentation\n\n### Collections\n\n* [forEach](#forEach)\n* [map](#map)\n* [filter](#filter)\n* [reject](#reject)\n* [reduce](#reduce)\n* [detect](#detect)\n* [sortBy](#sortBy)\n* [some](#some)\n* [every](#every)\n* [concat](#concat)\n\n### Control Flow\n\n* [series](#series)\n* [parallel](#parallel)\n* [whilst](#whilst)\n* [until](#until)\n* [waterfall](#waterfall)\n* [queue](#queue)\n* [auto](#auto)\n* [iterator](#iterator)\n* [apply](#apply)\n* [nextTick](#nextTick)\n\n### Utils\n\n* [memoize](#memoize)\n* [unmemoize](#unmemoize)\n* [log](#log)\n* [dir](#dir)\n* [noConflict](#noConflict)\n\n\n## Collections\n\n<a name=\"forEach\" />\n### forEach(arr, iterator, callback)\n\nApplies an iterator function to each item in an array, in parallel.\nThe iterator is called with an item from the list and a callback for when it\nhas finished. If the iterator passes an error to this callback, the main\ncallback for the forEach function is immediately called with the error.\n\nNote, that since this function applies the iterator to each item in parallel\nthere is no guarantee that the iterator functions will complete in order.\n\n__Arguments__\n\n* arr - An array to iterate over.\n* iterator(item, callback) - A function to apply to each item in the array.\n  The iterator is passed a callback which must be called once it has completed.\n* callback(err) - A callback which is called after all the iterator functions\n  have finished, or an error has occurred.\n\n__Example__\n\n    // assuming openFiles is an array of file names and saveFile is a function\n    // to save the modified contents of that file:\n\n    async.forEach(openFiles, saveFile, function(err){\n        // if any of the saves produced an error, err would equal that error\n    });\n\n---------------------------------------\n\n<a name=\"forEachSeries\" />\n### forEachSeries(arr, iterator, callback)\n\nThe same as forEach only the iterator is applied to each item in the array in\nseries. The next iterator is onl
