It's so beautiful how technologies evolve isn't it?
From yesterday to today (10/02/22 - 11/02-2022) we had an impactful change in something that is in our daily lives - Node.JS.
It was officially started in this v17.5.0 of NodeJS the implementation, at the moment experimental, of the native API for Fetch to work with Request and Response .
It was always natural to turn to external libraries to consume external web APIs. But now it looks like all that is about to change.
Unlike what happens in most current browsers where there is, natively, the Fetch API for requests, NodeJS did not have its own feature for this.
As I said, this feature is experimental, so it still needs to be used with the flag: --experimental-fetch.
I haven't had time to test the functionality yet but just reading it made me salivate. If you try it out there, let us know how the result was and if it met your expectations.
