Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Fetch API and Axios?

Fetch API is built into modern JavaScript environments, while Axios is a third-party library. Axios provides more features out of the box, such as request cancellation, automatic JSON transformation, and better error handling. Fetch is more lightweight but requires more manual configuration for advanced use cases.

Can I use the generated code in a browser?

Yes, the Fetch API code can be used in modern browsers without modification. For the Axios code, you would need to include the Axios library via a script tag or import it in your bundled JavaScript. Also, be aware of potential CORS issues when making requests from a browser.

How do I handle file uploads in Node.js?

For file uploads with Fetch API, you would use FormData. With Axios, you can use FormData or the form-data package. Our converter currently has basic support for form data, but for complex file uploads, you may need to make some manual adjustments to the generated code.
