SurveyJS
Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
In the dynamic realm of JavaScript and front-end development, selecting the appropriate tool for HTTP requests is critical. Axios and Fetch stand out as two leading contenders, each offering distinct features and benefits. This article delves into their differences and practical applications, providing a comprehensive comparison.
To further enhance type safety and developer experience, you might consider using the zod package to parse the output of your customFetch. This approach is similar to what TypeScript ninja Matt Pocock does in his package, zod-fetch.
In conclusion, whether you choose axios, fetch, or an alternative like wretch, your focus should be on writing clear, maintainable, and robust code. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each tool will empower you to make informed decisions and build applications that are not only functional but also resilient and enjoyable to develop.
