Comparison

The biggest difference between Hyper Fetch and other libraries is the opinionated architecture and assumptions on which it is built. Hyper Fetch’s core features are written in TS without dependencies; because of this, it can work in many environments without a specific connection to a given framework.

Hyper Fetch is not just a wrapper; it offers full control over the flow and observation of data exchange. Our main goals were to introduce:

• a data storage standard,
• offer an embedded HTTP adapter,
• reduce setup times,
• solve major architectural difficulties.

Producing an accurate and unbiased comparison is quite a challenge. Libraries develop quickly, so if you notice that our data needs to be corrected, please let us know by opening an issue.

Why Hyper Fetch Is Unique

• Easy upload/download progress and ETA tracking
• Supports request queueing and many dispatching strategies!
• Command / Builder pattern gives you amazing control over requests at any time
• Code-sharing architecture lets testers to hook into development setup and types
• Features flat side-effects helper hooks annotation and promotes readable code
• Provides structure recipes for large scale applications that significantly limit maintenance costs.
• Core features include offline and persistence support, giving you full control over your data
