What is Axios?

Axios is a promise-based (opens new window) HTTP Client for node.js (opens new window) and the browser. It is isomorphic (opens new window) (= it can run in the browser and nodejs with the same codebase). On the server-side it uses the native node.js http module, while on the client (browser) it uses XMLHttpRequests.

Features

• Make XMLHttpRequests (opens new window) from the browser
• Make http (opens new window) requests from node.js
• Supports the Promise (opens new window) API
• Intercept request and response
• Transform request and response data
• Cancel requests
• Automatic transforms for JSON data
• Client side support for protecting against XSRF (opens new window)
