Fetching Data from a Server

The evolution of web technologies has made the interaction of browsers with servers and the processing of server data an integral part of web development. Today, it’s challenging to draw a clear line between traditional web pages and full-fledged web applications. At the heart of this evolution is the ability of JavaScript in the browser to make requests to the server, efficiently process the received data, and dynamically display it on the page. This process has become the foundation for creating the interactive and responsive web applications we see today. In this chapter, we will explore various approaches and methods used to fetch data from the server, discuss their impact on the architecture of web applications, and acquaint ourselves with modern practices in this area.

So, in this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

Working with remote data
Using the Fetch API
Using Axios
Using TanStack Query
