SWR: Detailed Overview & Metrics
SWR is a lightweight React Hooks library for data fetching. It provides a simple and efficient way to fetch data, revalidate it, and cache the results. SWR automatically handles caching, revalidation, and stale-while-revalidate strategies, making it easy to manage data fetching in React applications.
Compared to other data fetching libraries like Axios or Fetch, SWR simplifies the process by abstracting away the boilerplate code and providing a clean and intuitive API. It also offers built-in support for pagination, mutation, and error handling, enhancing the developer experience.
