Reqwest is a small browser-side JavaScript library that wraps asynchronous HTTP requests (AJAX) with support for XMLHttpRequest, JSONP, CORS, and Promises/A. It can also run in Node.js via the xhr2 peer dependency, though it is primarily intended for the browser.
Use cases
- make ajax requests without jquery
- fetch from an api in the browser
- load p from a cross-domain endpoint
- send post requests with form data or
- make cors requests with credentials
- use promises for http requests in legacy browsers
When to choose
- you maintain a legacy codebase that needs a tiny jquery-like ajax wrapper
- you need JSONP support in an old browser environment
- you want a lightweight alternative to pulling in jquery just for ajax
When to avoid
- starting a new project - use the native fetch API instead
- you need a full-featured http client for Node.js
- you need actively maintained software with security patches
