Superagent
Superagent is a cross-platform JavaScript HTTP client and Ajax library used for exchanging data between clients and servers. It provides a consistent API for making network requests that works identically across both Node.js and web browser environments.
The library features a request pipeline that allows for the addition of custom behaviors to outgoing network calls. This system supports the implementation of specialized functions such as request throttling, caching, and the automatic signing of outgoing data.
Features
