Fetch

“The Fetch API provides a JavaScript interface for accessing and manipulating parts of the HTTP pipeline, such as requests and responses. It also provides a global fetch() method that provides an easy, logical way to fetch resources asynchronously across the network.”

Axios

Axios is a Javascript library used to make http requests from node.js or XMLHttpRequests from the browser, and it supports the Promise API that is native to JS ES6.

Axios does not come as a native JavaScript API, so we will have to manually import into our project. To get started, we will have to include the following commands:

Using CDN:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/axios/dist/axios.min.js"></script>

Using npm:

npm install axios

Using bower:

bower install axios
