Mande is an 800-byte TypeScript wrapper around the fetch API with smart defaults for communicating with JSON APIs. It provides a lightweight, extensible client with methods like get/post and easy header management for things like auth tokens.

Use cases

• call REST APIs from the browser without verbose fetch boilerplate
• replace axios with a tiny fetch-based alternative
• create a small typed API client layer for my frontend app
• manage authorization headers for API requests
• make JSON POST requests with automatic headers and error handling

When to choose

• you want a minimal, dependency-light fetch wrapper for browser or Node apps
• you need sensible JSON defaults and simple auth header management
• bundle size matters and you don't need interceptors or advanced features

When to avoid

• you need interceptors, retries, timeouts, or request cancellation out of the box
• you're targeting environments without native fetch support
• you need a full-featured HTTP client like axios with rich middleware
