## What it is
umi-request is a JavaScript HTTP request library built on fetch that combines fetch's native browser support with axios-like conveniences such as interceptors, request cancellation, and unified error handling. It provides a small (~9k) unified API with built-in timeout, caching, query serialization, and middleware support for both browser and Node.js.

## Use cases
- make http requests with fetch but with interceptors like axios
- add timeout and caching to fetch requests
- cancel http requests in the browser
- simplify post request data submission and query serialization
- handle gbk-encoded responses in javascript
- unified error handling for api calls
- make http requests from node.js

## When to choose
- you want axios-style interceptors and cancellation on top of native fetch
- you need a lightweight (~9k) request library with timeout, cache, and middleware support
- your project already uses the umi ecosystem
- you need to handle gbk character encoding in responses

## When to avoid
- you need a library with active ongoing development and recent releases
- you require guaranteed long-term maintenance or official license clarity in the repo
- you prefer axios's XMLHttpRequest-based implementation or need broader ecosystem support
- you need advanced features like automatic retries or request deduplication out of the box
