JavaScript can send network requests to the server and load new information whenever it’s needed.

For example, we can use a network request to:

  • Submit an order,
  • Load user information,
  • Receive latest updates from the server,
  • …etc.

The fetch() method is modern and versatile, so we’ll start with it. It’s not supported by old browsers (can be polyfilled), but very well supported among the modern ones.

GET requests
