It’s 2025, and Axios has supported fetch since v1.7, making it just another fetch wrapper.
The Axios package is 35.6KB/Gzip 13.5KB— too big as a fetch wrapper!
So, I looked into popular fetch wrappers and found these:
- wretch
- ky
- ofetch
The good thing is they are well-known and very small — under ~6KB(Gzip). The problem? Each has its own API style.
Axios is popular because of its easy-to-use API and powerful interceptors.
I wanted a fetch wrapper that works like Axios.
Besides these well-known fetch wrappers, there are many others. But after searching, I finally found the perfect one: xior
Why Xiorjs?
- Tiny, with an Axios-like API
- Built-in nested query parameter encoding
- Many useful built-in plugins
- Easy to customize with plugins
- Supports custom fetch implementations (works with proxies, old browsers, Tauri apps)
