> I'm not sure fetch is a good server-side API. The typical fetch-based code snippet `fetch(API_URL).then(r => r.json())` has no response body size limit and can potentially bring down a server due to memory exhaustion if the endpoint at API_URL malfunctions for some reason. Fine in the browser but to me it should be a no-no on the server.
replyNor is fetch a good client-side API either; you want progress indicators, on both upload and download. Fetch is a poor API all-round.
Hm, I don't think axios would do much better here. `fetch` is the official replacement for axios. If both are flawed that's another topic
replyAxios has maxContentLength and maxBodyLength options. I would probably go with undici nowadays though (it also has maxResponseSize).
reply> `fetch` is the official replacement for axios.
replyNo. Axios is still maintained. They have not deprecated the project in favor of fetch.
I'm not saying that axios is unmaintained, I'm saying that if you want something like axios from the standard lib, fetch is the closest thing you get to official
replySure but Axios determine what the official replacement for Axios is.
