Laravel asset vs mix

I don't get to understand the difference between using asset or mix Laravel helper when you have to include some js or css file.

<script src="{{ mix('/js/app.js') }}"></script>

vs

<script src="{{ asset('/js/app.js') }}"></script>

Both generates a link to public folder so is there any difference between them? Is it better to use one of them instead of the other? In which context is it better?

asset is just a helper to get the correct path to the file you are using as parameter, where mix also includes a version number, to help prevent caching of assets.

Read this page to understand more about mix.
