Research direction
Review the linked W3C Node.js package guidance and the axios npm page, then compare axios with the currently recommended request and superagent clients. The issue is complete when the project has a supported recommendation, backed by documented reasons and relevant experience.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
We are recommending request and superagent as HTTP clients. @xfq mentions axios as an alternative.
There is no public W3C project using it (although there is one private project).
Are there good reasons to recommend it? Who has experience with it and can defend it?
