The document compares the Fetch API and Axios for making HTTP requests in JavaScript, highlighting that Fetch is a native API requiring more setup while Axios is easier to use with built-in features. Fetch does not reject promises on HTTP error statuses and lacks support for interceptors, whereas Axios simplifies error handling and supports interceptors. Both are supported in modern browsers, but Axios also works with Internet Explorer 11 with a polyfill.

When comparing the Fetch API
with Axios for making HTTP requests in JavaScript, there are several points to consider regarding ease of use,features, and how they handle requests and responses. 02
Fetch API: It's a native browser
API, so there's no need to install any additional libraries. However, it requires more setup for common tasks like sending JSON data or handling exceptions.
Axios: Easier to use out of the box
for common HTTP requests. It automatically transforms JSON data on requests and responses and handles exceptions more gracefully. 03
Fetch API: Does not reject the
promise on HTTP error statuses (like 404 or 500). You need to handle errors explicitly by checking the response status.
Axios: Automatically rejects the
promise on HTTP error statuses, which can simplify error handling in your code. 04
Fetch API: Does not have built-
in support for intercepting requests or responses. Middleware or extra coding is required to implement this functionality.
Axios: Supports interceptors
that allow you to run your code or modify the request/response before the request is sent or after the response is received. 05
Fetch API: Supported in all
modern browsers, but not in Internet Explorer.
Axios: Works on all modern
browsers and Internet Explorer 11 (requires a Promise polyfill). 06
Fetch API: Requires manual
conversion of the JSON data in the response body.
Axios: Automatically handles
JSON data conversion on requests and responses. 07 08 FOLLOW ME FOR MORE INFORMATIVE CONTENT
