wretch
A tiny wrapper built around fetch with an intuitive syntax for making HTTP requests.
What is wretch?
Wretch is a tiny JavaScript library that wraps the native Fetch API with a more intuitive and chainable syntax. It simplifies making HTTP requests by automatically handling JSON serialization, error catching, and request configuration, reducing the boilerplate code typically required with fetch. It solves the problem of verbose and repetitive network request code in modern web applications.
Frontend and full-stack JavaScript/TypeScript developers who frequently make HTTP requests and want a cleaner, more maintainable alternative to raw fetch or heavier HTTP clients.
Developers choose Wretch for its minimal footprint (~1.8KB gzipped), elegant API that reduces fetch boilerplate, and extensible design through addons and middlewares. It offers better error handling, immutability for safe reuse, and full TypeScript support out of the box.
