  • axios

    Promise based HTTP client for the browser and node.js

    • The trigger point of this move is that v0.27.0 breaks FormData handling unintentionally(ref: https://github.com/axios/axios/pull/4640). Solving a mobile problem brings in a browser bug. This shows the current maintainer(s) lack the knowledge of the platform it's supporting and how its ancient code works. I doubt this package will move forward steady with its 250 issues count, some already there for a few years unresolved.

  • wretch

    A tiny wrapper built around fetch with an intuitive syntax. :candy:

    • Wretch Wretch on the other hand takes the function chaining approach. It split common error types into separate helper methods so you don't need to result in an interceptor every time

  • 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.
