whatwg-fetch: Detailed Overview & Metrics
The 'whatwg-fetch' npm package is a lightweight and minimalistic polyfill for the Fetch API, providing a consistent way to make network requests in modern web browsers and Node.js environments. It follows the WHATWG Fetch Standard and allows developers to perform asynchronous HTTP requests with a promise-based interface.
Compared to traditional XMLHttpRequest, the Fetch API provided by 'whatwg-fetch' offers a more modern and streamlined approach to handling network requests. It simplifies the process of sending and receiving data over the network, making it easier to work with APIs and handle responses efficiently.
