Axios: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Axios is a popular promise-based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. It provides an easy-to-use API for making HTTP requests and handling responses, supporting features like interceptors, request and response transformations, and automatic JSON data parsing. Axios is widely used for its simplicity, flexibility, and robust error handling capabilities.
Compared to other HTTP clients like Fetch API, Axios offers more features out of the box, such as the ability to cancel requests, set default configurations, and handle request timeouts. It is actively maintained and widely adopted in the JavaScript community for its reliability and ease of use.
