Axios

What it can do

• Send HTTP GET requests

  URL and optional headers/parameters → HTTP response data

• Send HTTP POST requests with data

  URL, request body, and optional headers → HTTP response data

• Automatically parse JSON responses

  HTTP response with JSON content → JavaScript object

• Intercept and modify requests before sending

  Request configuration and interceptor function → Modified request configuration

• Intercept and transform responses before handling

  HTTP response and interceptor function → Transformed response data

• Cancel pending HTTP requests

  Request instance and cancel token → Cancelled request with abort signal

• Handle request timeouts automatically

  HTTP request with timeout configuration → Response or timeout error

Why it made the leaderboard

The default Promise-based HTTP client for JavaScript, in browsers and Node alike: interceptors, automatic JSON handling, timeouts, and request cancellation behind one small API. Reach for it when fetch's bare surface starts costing you boilerplate.
