What are the differences between Svelte's fetch and Axios?

Svelte's fetch is a built-in method for making HTTP requests, while Axios is a popular third-party library. Fetch is more lightweight and native to the browser, but Axios offers more features like interceptors and automatic JSON transformation.

Which one is better for a Svelte application?

It depends on your needs. If you want simplicity and are okay with basic functionality, Svelte's fetch is great. If you need advanced features like request cancellation or interceptors, Axios might be the better choice.

Can I use both in the same project?

Yes, you can use both in the same project. Just be mindful of how you manage your requests and responses to avoid confusion.

What are some common use cases for each?

Common use cases for Svelte's fetch include simple API calls and data fetching in components. Axios is often used for more complex scenarios like handling authentication tokens or managing multiple requests.
