Package Summary

whatwg-fetch is a minimal, standards-compliant fetch API implementation for making web requests in JavaScript environments that lack native support, such as older browsers and Node.js. It brings the familiar fetch interface from modern browsers, including features like Promises, request and response objects, and header handling, allowing developers to use a consistent API for network communication across different platforms. It improves code portability by enabling the use of the widely available browser API in non-browser environments.
