What is the difference between process.nextTick() and setImmediate()?

process.nextTick() executes callbacks before the event loop continues to the next phase, giving it higher priority. setImmediate() schedules callbacks for execution during the check phase of the event loop. Understanding the difference helps developers control execution order in asynchronous programs.
