A tiny (800-byte) HTTP client with the Axios API, built on native fetch.
Redaxios is a tiny HTTP client library that provides the Axios API in just 800 bytes by wrapping the browser's native Fetch API. It solves the problem of choosing between the developer-friendly Axios API and the lightweight Fetch API, offering a minimal alternative for projects where bundle size matters.
Frontend developers working on performance-sensitive web applications, especially those using modern frameworks like Next.js, React, or Preact who need a small HTTP client.
Developers choose Redaxios because it delivers the familiar Axios API at a fraction of the size, reducing bundle overhead without sacrificing developer experience or compatibility with modern tooling.

At only 800 bytes, Redaxios is significantly smaller than Axios, reducing bundle overhead for performance-critical web applications, as emphasized in the README.
It replicates the Axios API, allowing developers to switch with minimal code changes and leverage existing knowledge, making migration straightforward.
Built on the native Fetch API, it ensures compatibility with all modern browsers and integrates with polyfills in tools like Next.js, as noted in the compatibility section.
Works seamlessly with popular frameworks such as Next.js, Create React App, and Preact CLI, simplifying setup in modern web projects without extra configuration.
As a minimal wrapper, it lacks Axios features like interceptors, automatic retries, and detailed error handling, which can be essential for complex HTTP workflows.
Primarily focused on browsers, so using it in Node.js requires additional setup with Fetch polyfills, and server-side support isn't built-in.
Being a smaller project, it has fewer community plugins, extensions, and documentation resources compared to the more mature Axios ecosystem.
