## What it is
aspida is a TypeScript-friendly HTTP client wrapper for the browser and Node.js that generates fully typed API clients from endpoint type definition files. It supports axios, fetch, and node-fetch as underlying HTTP clients.

## Use cases
- generate type-safe api clients from endpoint definitions
- make typed http requests in typescript
- wrap axios or fetch with full type safety
- type path params, query, headers and request/response bodies
- share api type definitions between frontend and backend

## When to choose
- you want end-to-end type safety for REST API calls in a TypeScript project
- you want to define API types once and get autocomplete for paths, queries, and bodies
- you want flexibility to swap between axios, fetch, or node-fetch

## When to avoid
- you use GraphQL rather than REST endpoints
- your project is JavaScript-only with no TypeScript
- you need a library with frequent releases and active maintenance (last release Nov 2023)

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: http-client, sdk, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, frontend, backend, apis, developer-tools
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: type-safe-api-client, code-generation, axios, fetch, rest-client, nodejs, typescript
