Difference between Fetch and Axios.
Thread:
Axios is a promise-based HTTP client for Node.
Whereas, Fetch is a web interface to fetch resources from other APIs.
While making a POST request, Axios automatically converts data to JSON.
On the other hand, you need to explicitly stringify the JSON body while using Fetch.
The same goes for the response data.
Axios automatically converts the response into JSON while you need to use `response.json` while working with Fetch.
Here's a typical syntax for making a POST request using Axios and Fetch. 👇🏻
Axios provides the easiest way to set a timeout before the request is aborted.
We can do that by setting up the w=`timeout` property in the config object.
We can do the same thing with Fetch, but it's a little complicated.
`AbortController` interface allows us to do this by using `AbortController.abort()` constructor. Which makes Fetch a little complicated.
