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 in a smart way. SWR focuses on improving the user experience by automatically revalidating data when the component is re-rendered or when a specified interval has passed. It also offers built-in support for error handling, loading states, and deduplication of requests.
Compared to other data fetching libraries like Axios or Fetch, SWR simplifies the data fetching process by handling caching and revalidation seamlessly. It is actively maintained and widely used in the React community for its performance and ease of use.
