Snekfetch is a fast, efficient, and user-friendly library for making HTTP requests.
The API was inspired by superagent, however it is much smaller and faster. In fact, in browser, it is a mere 4.4kb.
Documentation is available at https://snekfetch.js.org/
const request = require('snekfetch');
request.post('https://httpbin.org/post')
.send({ usingGoodRequestLibrary: true })
.then(r => console.log(r.body)); // r.body is object from json response
request.get('https://s.gc.gy/o-SNAKES.jpg')
.then(r => fs.writeFile('download.jpg', r.body)); // r.body is buffer
request.get('https://s.gc.gy/o-SNAKES.jpg')
.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('download.jpg')); // pipes
Available for browser as UMD from unpkg
