Overview of Axios features
Axios is an isomorphic, promise-based HTTP request library that works in both Node.js and browser environments. In Node.js, it uses the native http module, and in the browser, it uses XMLHttpRequests. Key features include:
- Intercepting requests and responses
- Transforming request and response data
- Request cancellation and timeout handling
- Automatic serialization of request bodies to JSON, Multipart/FormData, and URL encoded forms
- Automatic JSON data transformation
- Support for nested query parameter serialization
- Request progress monitoring (speed, remaining time) for both Node.js and browsers
- Bandwidth limiting for Node.js
- Compatibility with FormData and Blob
- Client-side XSRF protection
