What is Axios?
Axios is a Javascript library used to make HTTP requests from node.js or XMLHttpRequests from the browser and it supports the Promise API that is native to JS ES6. It can be used intercept HTTP requests and responses and enables client-side protection against XSRF. It also has the ability to cancel requests.

.then((response) => {
// Code for handling the response
})
.catch((error) => {
// Code for handling the error
})

For web applications to communicate with servers using the HTTP protocol, developers commonly use Fetch or Axios. Both are similar, but some prefer Axios for their simplicity. However, Fetch, a built-in API, is also powerful and can do what Axios does.
