A JavaScript polyfill that implements a subset of the WHATWG Fetch specification, providing window.fetch() for browsers that lack native support. It serves as a Promise-based replacement for XMLHttpRequest in traditional web applications.
Use cases
- add fetch support to older browsers
- replace XMLHttpRequest with promise-based requests
- make HTTP requests in legacy web apps
- polyfill window.fetch for IE11
- send JSON and form data with fetch
- upload files via fetch in old browsers
When to choose
- you must support browsers without native fetch
- you want a spec-compliant fetch polyfill for legacy web apps
- you need promise-based requests in old browsers
When to avoid
- your target browsers support fetch natively
- you need fetch in Node.js or server-side environments
- you need full Fetch spec features like streaming or complex CORS control
