How to make an HTTP request in javascript

To make an HTTP request in Javascript, you can use the `XMLHttpRequest` object or the `fetch` API. Here is an example of how to make an HTTP request using `fetch`:

fetch('https://example.com/data')
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => {
    console.log(data);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
  });

 

In this example, `fetch` is called with the URL of the resource you want to fetch. The `then` method is used to handle the response, and the `catch` method is used to handle any errors that occur.

 

The `fetch` method returns a `Promise` object that resolves with a `Response` object representing the response to the request. You can use the `json` method of the `Response` object to parse the response as JSON.

 

Note - The `fetch` API is supported in most modern browsers, but older browsers may not support it. In that case, you can use the `XMLHttpRequest` object, which has similar functionality.
