+.. _asyncio:
+
+Running on top of the `asyncio` event loop
+==========================================
+
+.. note::
+
+    New in prompt_toolkit 3.0. (In prompt_toolkit 2.0 this was possible using a
+    work-around).
+
+Prompt_toolkit 3.0 uses asyncio natively. Calling ``Application.run()`` will
+automatically run the asyncio event loop.
+
+If however you want to run a prompt_toolkit ``Application`` within an asyncio
+environment, you have to call the ``run_async`` method, like this:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    from prompt_toolkit.application import Application
+
+    async def main():
+        # Define application.
+        application = Application(
+            ...
+        )
+
+        result = await application.run_async()
+        print(result)
+
+    asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(main())
