How To Make an HTTP request in Javascript

There are several ways to make an HTTP request in JavaScript, but two of the most commonly used methods are the XMLHttpRequest object and the fetch() function.

#1. Using XMLHttpRequest object:

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('GET', 'https://example.com', true);
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xhr.readyState === 4 && xhr.status === 200) {
console.log(xhr.responseText);
}
};
xhr.send();

#2. Using fetch() function:

fetch('https://example.com')
.then(function(response) {
return response.text();
})
.then(function(text) {
console.log(text);
});

Both examples above make a GET request to https://example.com and log the response to the console. Keep in mind that fetch is not supported by older browsers.
