Use the `requests.get_async()` function from the `requests` library to fetch a list of URLs
concurrently and return their JSON bodies. Write the code.
Proposed solution
The `requests` library does not have an async `get_async()` function—it's synchronous by design. For asynchronous HTTP requests in Python, you should use libraries like `aiohttp`, `httpx`, or `asyncio` with `concurrent.futures`.

Here's how to do it correctly using `aiohttp`, which is the most common choice for async HTTP requests:

```python
import asyncio
import aiohttp

async def fetch_json(url):
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        async with session.get(url) as response:
            return await response.json()

async def fetch_multiple_urls(urls):
    tasks = [fetch_json(url) for url in urls]
    results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
    return results

# Example usage
if __name__ == "__main__":
    urls = [
        "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1",
        "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/2",
        "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/3"
    ]
    
    json_bodies = asyncio.run(fetch_multiple_urls(urls))
    for i, body in enumerate(json_bodies):
        print(f"URL {i+1}: {body}")
```

If you specifically need to use `requests` with async-like behavior, you could use `concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor`, but this is not truly asynchronous:

```python
import requests
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor, as_completed

def fetch_json(url):
    response = requests.get(url)
    return response.json()

def fetch_multiple_urls(urls, max_workers=5):
    results = []
    with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=max_workers) as executor:
        future_to_url = {executor.submit(fetch_json, url): url for url in urls}
        for future in as_completed(future_to_url):
            results.append(future.result())
    return results

# Example usage
if __name__ == "__main__":
    urls = [
        "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1",
        "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/2"
    ]
    
    json_bodies = fetch_multiple_urls(urls)
    print(json_bodies)
```

But to clarify: there is no `requests.get_async()` function in the `requests` library.
