Data Fetching Documentation

Welcome to our documentation on data fetching. Here, you will find detailed information on how to retrieve data from various sources and integrate it into your applications.

Overview

Data fetching is a critical aspect of modern web development. It allows your application to dynamically load and display data from remote servers. This can range from fetching user information, product details, or even real-time stock prices.

Methods

There are several methods to fetch data:

• XMLHttpRequest - The traditional method for making asynchronous HTTP requests.
• Fetch API - A modern, promise-based approach for making network requests.
• Axios - A popular HTTP client for making requests from the browser or node.js.

Fetch API

The Fetch API provides a modern and straightforward way to make HTTP requests. It returns a promise that resolves to the response of the request.

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

Example

Here is an example of how you can use the Fetch API to retrieve user data from a JSON placeholder API:

fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users')
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(users => {
    console.log(users);
    // Render users on the page
  })
  .catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));
