The Fetch API provides a simple way to make HTTP requests and handle responses in JavaScript.

Making a GET Request

To fetch data from a server, you can use fetch() to make a GET request:

      
        fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users')
          .then(response => response.json())
          .then(data => console.log(data))
          .catch(error => console.error("Error:", error));
