Difference between Checkout.Session and PaymentIntent in STRIPE?

Question

I am new to coding so bear my stupid questions. I am working on STRIPE and using NODE JS. Stripe docs are difficult to understand, can anyone help me explaining the difference between Checkout.session.create and PaymentIntent.

Thanks.

Please refer to the Stripe documentation at here

You create Session for fully hosted (pre-built) payment page.

You create PaymentIntent when you need to integrate your custom payment flow.
