ky

I usually reach for ky these days since it's an extremely lightweight wrapper over `fetch` - basically just adds a few niceties https://github.com/sindresorhus/ky From the readme: - Simpler API - Method shortcuts (ky.post()) - Treats non-2xx status codes as errors (after redirects) - Retries failed requests - JSON option - Timeout support - Upload and download progress - Base URL option - Instances with custom defaults - Hooks - Response validation with Standard Schema (Zod, Valibot, etc.) - TypeScript niceties (e.g., .json() supports generics and defaults to unknown, not any) Of course, this is only for projects where I have to make a lot of HTTP requests to a lot of different places where these niceties make sense. In most cases, we're usually using a library generated from an OpenAPI specification and fall back to `fetch` only as an es

Ky was written to use fetch from the beginning, whereas Axios tries to adapt itself to fetch, which doesn't always work well. We also have much better TypeScript support, including built-in schema validation with type inference. Documented here: https://github.com/sindresorhus/ky?tab=readme-ov-file#how-is...

Released in 2018 but I missed it. Main reason I posted it: compare Ky's usage with all the boilerplate required by Fetch at: https://github.com/sindresorhus/ky#usage
