xhr2
A Node.js package that implements the W3C XMLHttpRequest specification, enabling browser-like HTTP client functionality.
What is xhr2?
xhr2 is an XMLHttpRequest emulator for Node.js that implements the W3C XMLHttpRequest specification. It allows developers to use the browser's familiar XMLHttpRequest API in Node.js applications for making HTTP and HTTPS requests, bridging the gap between client-side and server-side JavaScript networking.
Node.js developers who need a browser-compatible HTTP client API, particularly those porting browser code to Node.js or writing isomorphic JavaScript that shares networking logic between client and server.
xhr2 provides a standards-compliant XMLHttpRequest implementation with Node.js-specific extensions, offering a more familiar interface than Node's native `http` module while maintaining compatibility with the W3C specification.
