!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] provides an [Application Programming Interface] for fetching [resources] (including across the [network]) and is a [JavaScript][Implementation] of the [Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group] ([WHATWG]) [Standard] [FETCH].


[{$pagename}] provides a generic definition of [Request] and [Response] objects (and other things involved with [network] [requests]). This will allow them to be used wherever they are needed in the future, whether it’s for [Service Workers], [Cache] [API] and other similar things that handle or modify requests and responses, or any kind of [Use case] that might require you to generate your own responses programmatically.

[{$pagename}] also provides a definition for related concepts such as [Cross Origin Resource Sharing] ([CORS]) and the [HTTP Header Field] [Origin|Web Origin] header semantics, supplanting their separate definitions elsewhere. ([RFC 6454])

[{$pagename}] is [JavaScript]’s way of sending [HTTP Request] over the wire and is therefore vital to making any real-world [JavaScript] [application] with any kind of a backend [server] behind it.

[{$pagename}] is used in [JavaScript] [Promises] and [Async-Await]
