## What it is
Redaxios is an 800-byte JavaScript library that provides the Axios API implemented as a thin wrapper over the native Fetch API. It lets developers keep Axios-style request code while dramatically reducing bundle size.

## Use cases
- make http requests with axios-like api
- reduce bundle size by replacing axios
- wrap native fetch with a familiar api
- send json requests from the browser
- drop-in lightweight axios alternative

## When to choose
- you want the Axios API but can't justify its bundle size
- you target modern browsers or build tools that polyfill fetch
- you need a tiny drop-in replacement for axios

## When to avoid
- you need axios's full feature set like interceptors, progress events, or automatic retries
- you must support legacy browsers without fetch and no polyfill
- you prefer just using axios directly

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
