Fetch vs Axios: Best Practices

What are the main differences between Fetch and Axios?

Fetch is a built-in browser API for making HTTP requests, while Axios is a third-party library that simplifies requests and has additional features.

Which one should I use for my project?

It depends on your needs. If you want a simple solution without extra dependencies, use Fetch. If you need features like interceptors or automatic JSON transformation, go with Axios.

Can you give me some best practices for using Fetch?

Sure! Always handle errors with try-catch, use async/await for cleaner code, and consider using AbortController for request cancellation.

What about Axios? Any specific best practices?

For Axios, use interceptors for request/response handling, set a base URL for your API, and leverage the built-in timeout feature to avoid hanging requests.
