Fetch vs Axios: Which has better browser support?

Can you explain the differences in browser support between Fetch and Axios?

Sure! Fetch is a built-in web API that is supported in most modern browsers, but it lacks support in Internet Explorer. Axios, on the other hand, is a library that works in all browsers, including IE, because it uses XMLHttpRequest under the hood.

What are the advantages of using Axios over Fetch?

Axios provides several advantages, such as automatic JSON data transformation, request cancellation, and better error handling. It also has a more user-friendly API.

Are there any downsides to using Axios?

Yes, one downside is that Axios adds an extra dependency to your project, which can increase bundle size. Additionally, Fetch is more lightweight since it's built into the browser.

In what scenarios would you recommend using Fetch instead of Axios?

I would recommend using Fetch for simple requests in modern applications where you don't need the extra features of Axios, especially if you're aiming for a smaller bundle size.
