The purpose of the event loop in JavaScript is to handle asynchronous operations such as user input, timer events, and network requests. It continuously checks the task queue for pending tasks and executes them one by one. This allows JavaScript to handle non-blocking I/O operations and keep the application responsive while performing long-running tasks in the background.
