Got is a popular and lightweight HTTP request library for Node.js that simplifies making HTTP requests with a clean and concise API. It supports both traditional callback-based usage and modern Promise-based syntax, making it versatile and easy to work with. Got provides features like automatic retries, timeouts, and request cancellation, along with support for streams and buffers.
Compared to alternatives like Axios and node-fetch, Got stands out for its smaller bundle size, faster performance, and simpler API design. It is actively maintained, regularly updated, and widely used in the Node.js ecosystem for handling HTTP requests efficiently.
