What is the difference between == and === in JavaScript?

The == operator compares values after performing type conversion, while === compares both value and data type without conversion. For example, 5 == "5" returns true, whereas 5 === "5" returns false. Developers should generally use === to avoid unexpected behavior caused by type coercion.
