Axios Middleware Layer

middleware-axios is a JavaScript and TypeScript library that extends the popular Axios HTTP client, providing an Express or Koa-like middleware interface for intercepting and modifying HTTP requests and responses. The current stable version is 3.0.0, which introduced dual CommonJS and ESM support and updated its peer dependency to Axios `^1.7.4`. The project demonstrates an active release cadence, with major versions addressing significant architectural changes like module system compatibility and dependency updates, while patch releases focus on type fixes and minor improvements. Its key differentiator lies in abstracting the native Axios interceptor pattern into a more structured, sequential middleware pipeline, allowing developers to easily add global or instance-specific pre-request and post-response logic, access `axios.defaults`, and control the flow with a `next()` function call, making request handling more modular and maintainable.
