## What it is
alova is a request strategy layer for JavaScript that provides 20+ ready-made strategies (pagination, forms, uploads, retries, caching) on top of existing HTTP clients like axios and fetch. It works across React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, mini-programs, and server environments with a single unified API.

## Use cases
- implement paginated lists with prefetching in react
- handle form submission with automatic state management
- add retry logic to http requests
- manage request caching and cache invalidation
- upload files with progress tracking
- share and deduplicate identical requests
- use the same data fetching hooks across vue and react
- server-side data fetching in nextjs or nuxt

## When to choose
- you repeatedly hand-write pagination, form, upload, or retry logic
- you want one request API across multiple UI frameworks
- you want higher-level strategies than react-query or swr primitives
- you need request state management on both client and server

## When to avoid
- you only need a raw http client without request orchestration
- your team is already invested in react-query or swr workflows
- you need a solution limited strictly to react
