You can make HTTP requests in JavaScript using the XMLHttpRequest (XHR) object, or the more modern and widely used fetch API.
Here’s an example using XHR:
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('GET', 'https://api.example.com/data', true);
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (this.readyState === XMLHttpRequest.DONE && this.status === 200) {
console.log(this.responseText);
}
};
xhr.send();
And here’s an example using fetch:
fetch('https://api.example.com/data')
.then(response => response.text())
.then(data => console.log(data))
.catch(error => console.error(error));
Note that both XHR and fetch operate asynchronously, so the code that follows the request will continue to run while the request is being processed.
