What's the key diff between fetch and xhr type for API requests? or Can someone explain the diff betw

fetch is the new standard, but xhr type isn’t going away anytime soon.

fetch:
- Cleaner syntax
- Promise-based
- Less code

xhr:
- More control (timeouts, progress)
- Callback-based
- Verbose

fetch’s error handling is *not* intuitive—it won’t reject on 404/500. You gotta handle that yourself.

If you’re learning, start with fetch. But keep XHR in your back pocket for edge cases.
