JavaScript Fetch API

Introduction

Example

1/* this fetches data */
2fetch("https://api.example.com/data")
3  .then(response => response.json())
4  .then(data => console.log(data));

Key Points

• The `fetch()` function starts the network request.
• It returns a Promise that resolves to a Response object.
• You must convert the response to JSON or text.
• Fetch replaces the older `XMLHttpRequest` method.
