A **microtask** is a short function which is executed after the function or program which created it exits _and_ only if the [JavaScript execution stack](/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Execution_model#stack) is empty, but before returning control to the event loop being used by the {{Glossary("user agent")}} to drive the script's execution environment.

URL fragment in URL 'web/javascript/reference/execution_model#stack' is broken

This event loop may be either the browser's main event loop or the event loop driving a [web worker](/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API). This lets the given function run without the risk of interfering with another script's execution, yet also ensures that the microtask runs before the user agent has the opportunity to react to actions taken by the microtask.
