Fetch vs Axios: Error Handling in JavaScript

What are the differences in error handling between Fetch and Axios?

Fetch API does not reject the promise on HTTP error statuses (like 404 or 500). You need to check the response status manually. Axios, on the other hand, automatically rejects the promise for HTTP error statuses.

Can you show me an example of error handling with Fetch?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

fetch('https://api.example.com/data')
  .then(response => {
    if (!response.ok) {
      throw new Error('Network response was not ok');
    }
    return response.json();
  })
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(error => console.error('Fetch error:', error));

What about error handling in Axios?

In Axios, error handling is more straightforward. Here's an example:

axios.get('https://api.example.com/data')
  .then(response => console.log(response.data))
  .catch(error => {
    console.error('Axios error:', error);
  });

Which one do you recommend for better error handling?

If you prefer automatic error handling, Axios is a better choice. However, if you want more control, Fetch might be suitable.
