Request (deprecated): Detailed Overview & Metrics
Request is a simplified HTTP client for Node.js that makes it easy to send HTTP requests and handle responses. It provides a high-level interface for making HTTP calls, supporting features like streaming, authentication, and cookie handling. Request is widely used for making API calls, fetching data from servers, and interacting with web services.
However, Request has been deprecated in favor of modern alternatives like Axios, node-fetch, and got. These alternatives offer better performance, improved security features, and more active maintenance. It is recommended to migrate to one of these alternatives to ensure compatibility and security in your Node.js applications.
