Frest

Frest is a browser REST client that wraps the Fetch API with an XMLHttpRequest fallback for environments where Fetch is unavailable or for file upload/download with progress events. Version 1.2.0 is current and stable. Key differentiators include interceptor support (before request, after response, and error), CRUD aliases, TypeScript definitions, and UMD builds for direct script tag usage. It is a lightweight alternative to axios with built-in XHR fallback.
