The diff between fetch and xhr type is like comparing a Tesla to a vintage car.
fetch is sleek, modern, and easy to use. XHR is old-school but has quirks some devs still rely on.
fetch’s error handling is *different*—it only fails if the request can’t complete (like no network). For HTTP errors, you need extra checks.
XHR lets you track progress, cancel requests, etc. But for 90% of cases, fetch is fine.
