Axios vs Fetch: Which One Should You Use?

What are the main differences between Axios and Fetch API?

Axios is a promise-based HTTP client with a simpler API, while Fetch is a built-in browser API that requires more boilerplate.

Can you provide examples of how to use both Axios and Fetch for a GET request?

Sure! For Axios: axios.get('/api/data').then(response => console.log(response.data)); For Fetch: fetch('/api/data').then(response => response.json()).then(data => console.log(data));

Are there any advantages of using Axios over Fetch?

Yes, Axios automatically transforms JSON data, handles timeouts, and has better error handling compared to Fetch.

What about error handling in Fetch?

In Fetch, you need to check the response status manually and throw an error if it's not in the 200 range.
