## What it is
Better Fetch is an advanced TypeScript fetch wrapper with standard schema validation support (zod, valibot, arktype), pre-defined routes, callbacks, and plugins. It runs across browsers, Node 18+, workers, Deno, and Bun.

## Use cases
- type-safe fetch requests in typescript
- validate api responses with zod
- create typed api clients with predefined routes
- add plugins and callbacks to fetch calls
- shared http client for browser and node
- handle api errors consistently

## When to choose
- you want schema-validated, type-safe HTTP requests in TypeScript
- you need one fetch client working across browser, node, deno, and bun
- you want reusable route definitions and fetch plugins

## When to avoid
- you only need simple one-off fetch calls without validation
- you need a full-featured GraphQL or gRPC client
- your project is not TypeScript/JavaScript

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: http-client, serialization, middleware, plugin-system
- domain: web-development, frontend, backend, developer-tools, apis
- platform: bun, browser, cross-platform
- tags: fetch-wrapper, schema-validation, zod, type-safe-http, api-client, nodejs, deno, typescript
