Axios HTTP Client is the Promise based HTTP client for the browser and node.js. Axios HTTP Client will teach you how to use Axios POST request to the server or Axios GET request to fetch the data. It supports all modern browsers, including support for IE8 and higher.

It is promise-based, and this lets us write async/await code to perform XHR requests very quickly. Using Axios, It is effortless to send an asynchronous HTTP request to the server or REST endpoints and perform any CRUD operations.

Javascript Axios library can be used in your everyday JavaScript application or can be used together with more advanced frameworks like  Vue.js,  Angular, or  Node.js.

Axios has lots of advantages over the native  Fetch API:

• It supports older browsers (Fetch needs a polyfill)
• It has a way to abort a request.
• It has a way to set a response timeout.
• It has built-in CSRF protection.
• It supports upload progress.
• It performs automatic JSON data transformation.
• It works with Node.js very well.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to install and add Axios to your project and perform an asynchronous HTTP request. We’ll cover a real-world scenario throughout this example.
