Fetch API
Part of the Full Stack Developer Roadmap
In short
The browser's built-in, Promise-based API for making HTTP requests — the fundamental mechanism your frontend uses to talk to your backend's API.
How to learn this
- 1Fetch data from your own backend API and render it in the DOM or a React component.
- 2Learn to send a POST request with a JSON body and the correct headers.
- 3Practice handling both success and error responses from the same `fetch` call.
