Can you explain the concept of SupervisorJob in the context of Kotlin coroutines?

SupervisorJob in Kotlin is a special type of Job used to manage a group of coroutines, where an error in one coroutine does not cancel the others. In a regular Job, if an exception occurs in a child coroutine, the entire parent Job and all its child coroutines are canceled.

With SupervisorJob, coroutines work independently: if one of them fails, the others continue to run. This is useful when you need to launch multiple parallel tasks and do not want to stop all of them if one fails.

Example usage:

val supervisor = SupervisorJob()
val scope = CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.Default + supervisor)

scope.launch {
    launch {
        // This coroutine may fail, but it won't affect others
        throw RuntimeException("Error")
    }
    launch {
        // This coroutine will continue to work
        println("Working")
    }
}

Thus, SupervisorJob helps isolate errors between child coroutines, ensuring more resilient execution of parallel tasks.
