Can single and double quotes be used interchangeably for string literals in JavaScript?

Let’s examine the following two examples of string logging in JavaScript:

  • console.log(‘double’);
  • console.log(“single”);
Here, the first example employs single quotes, while the second utilizes double quotes. I’ve noticed a growing trend in JavaScript libraries favoring single quotes for string management. Are these quoting styles interchangeable? If they are not, does one option provide distinct benefits over the other?
