Edit this Post Opens in new tab

Axios Opens in new tab is a npm package which makes http requests easier. At the time axios came out, making http requests in the browser was not really fun and axios made the life of a lot of developers easier.

Since then a lot of things changed. A native fetch Opens in new tab API is now available. Kent C. Dodds wrote a blogpost why you might not need axios anymore and can replace it easily with fetch.
