Simple Asynchronous HTTP Client

library 2.0.5 ·javascript abandoned
verified May 27, 2026

Reqwest is a browser-focused JavaScript library designed for making asynchronous HTTP requests, offering support for XMLHttpRequest, JSONP, CORS, and the CommonJS Promises/A specification. While it provided isomorphic capabilities allowing use in Node.js via the `xhr2` peer dependency, its primary intention and optimization were for client-side AJAX operations. The package is currently at version 2.0.5 and has not received any updates since August 2015. This effectively marks it as an abandoned project. Its Promise implementation adheres to an older specification (Promises/A), which may not be fully compatible with the ES2015+ Promises/A+ standard or modern `async/await` patterns. For contemporary JavaScript development, the native Fetch API or actively maintained alternatives like `axios` are generally preferred due to `reqwest`'s lack of ongoing support and potential compatibility issues with modern environments and security practices.
