## What it is
Apisauce is a low-fat wrapper around the Axios HTTP client that standardizes error handling with a 'problem' property on every response and supports request/response transforms. It works in Node, the browser, and React Native, and is now community-supported only with no active maintenance.

## Use cases
- wrap axios calls with standardized error problems
- make JSON API requests from React Native apps
- unify success and failure response handling in one flow
- attach transforms that modify all request or response data
- detect connection issues on mobile networks
- configure a base URL and shared headers for an API client

## When to choose
- you want consistent error shapes on top of axios in an existing project
- you are maintaining a React Native or React codebase already using apisauce
- you need request/response transform hooks with minimal abstraction

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - the maintainers recommend using axios directly
- you need actively maintained software with timely bug fixes
- you need features beyond a thin axios wrapper

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: http-client, middleware
- domain: web-development, apis, frontend, developer-tools
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: axios-wrapper, react-native, api-client, error-handling, request-transforms, nodejs
