Axios is a promise-based HTTP client for making asynchronous HTTP requests in JavaScript for the browser and Node.js.
Axios provides a more powerful and flexible feature set compared to Fetch, including request and response interception, streamlined error handling, protection against XSRF, and support for upload progress.
To install Axios, you can use npm, Yarn, pnpm, or a content delivery network (CDN).
Making HTTP requests with Axios involves importing the axios function and passing a configuration object containing properties like method, URL, data, headers, and timeout.
GET requests with Axios are made by specifying 'get' as the method and the URL to be fetched from.
POST requests with Axios involve providing the URL and an object with key-value pairs to be sent to the server.
PUT requests in Axios are used to create or update a resource on the server by providing the resource's URI and payload data.
DELETE requests in Axios are used to remove a resource from the server by passing the method as 'delete' and the URL with a query parameter.
Axios provides shorthand methods like axios.get, axios.post, and others for different types of requests.
Axios handles responses and errors with promises, using the then() method for successful responses and the catch() method for errors.
