An implementation of window.fetch in Node.js using Minipass streams
This is a fork (or more precisely, a reimplementation) of node-fetch. All streams have been replaced with minipass streams.
The goal of this module is to stay in sync with the API presented by
node-fetch, with the exception of the streaming interface provided.
Minipass streams are faster and more deterministic in their timing contract than node-core streams, making them a better fit for many server-side use cases.

Differences from node-fetch (and, by extension, from the WhatWG Fetch
specification):
https.request()
when making https requests.node-fetch is a light-weight module that brings the Fetch API to Node.js. It is similar to minipass-fetch but does not focus on streaming data and may not be as minimal in size.
axios is a promise-based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. It provides a more feature-rich API compared to minipass-fetch, including interceptors, automatic transforms for JSON data, and client-side protection against XSRF.
got is a human-friendly and powerful HTTP request library for Node.js. It offers advanced features like retries, streams, and convenient JSON handling, which can make it a more comprehensive alternative to minipass-fetch.
