What is Axios?

Axios is very similar to Fetch API. It can be used to make HTTP request from node.js or XMLHttpRequests from the browser. It's a JavaScript library so we have to import it to use it. When we use fetch(), we have to transfer the response to json first and then we can get the data we want. Using Axios, we don't have to worry about it.
