In this tutorial we will learn how to make an HTTP request in javascript.
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.
