Fetch API vs Axios
Both are ways to access and integrate APIs from the backend into front-end applications. However, determining the preferable method requires a closer
In the Fetch API, when you receive data from an API request, it comes in the form of a raw response. If the data is in JSON format (which is common for API responses), you need to explicitly convert this data into a usable JavaScript object using the json() method. This conversion process involves an extra step where you handle the raw data and parse it into JSON format manually.
On the other hand, Axios simplifies this process by automatically converting the response data into a JavaScript object (JSON) behind the scenes. When you make a request using Axios, you receive the response directly as a JavaScript object without needing to perform manual conversion. Axios abstracts away this conversion process, providing a more streamlined and convenient experience, especially when dealing with JSON data from APIs.
In summary, while the Fetch API requires you to handle data conversion manually, Axios offers a more user-friendly approach with built-in JSON conversion functionality, saving developers time and effort in handling API responses.
