In plain words

Kneden is a Babel plugin that converts ES2017 async/await syntax into ES6 Promise chains. It enables developers working with older JavaScript environments or build systems to use modern async/await code while maintaining compatibility with ES6-only runtimes. The tool targets JavaScript developers who need to transpile contemporary async patterns down to Promise-based code for broader browser or environment support.
