Axios

Axios is a promise-based HTTP client for JavaScript that works in both browser and Node.js environments. The library provides a simple, intuitive API for making XMLHttpRequests from browsers and HTTP requests from Node.js. Axios automatically transforms JSON data and provides request/response interceptors for modifying requests or handling errors globally. It supports request cancellation, timeout configuration, and CSRF protection for enhanced security. Axios provides built-in protection against XSRF attacks by allowing automatic inclusion of XSRF tokens in requests. The library offers comprehensive error handling with detailed error information and standardized error responses. It supports multiple concurrent requests, streaming responses, and progress tracking for uploads and downloads. Axios is widely used in modern JavaScript applications, particularly with React, Vue, and other frontend frameworks requiring HTTP communication with backend APIs.
