Vue Resource HTTP Client

vue-resource is an HTTP client plugin for Vue.js, designed for making web requests and handling responses using XMLHttpRequest or JSONP. It supports the Promise API, URI Templates, and interceptors for both requests and responses. The package, currently at version 1.5.3 (last updated in 2021), was primarily built for Vue 1.x and Vue 2.x applications. It boasts compatibility with modern browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, IE9+) and a compact size (14KB, 5.3KB gzipped). While it was once considered a de-facto 'official' HTTP client, its maintenance has largely ceased, especially with the advent of Vue 3, which encourages the use of alternatives like Axios or the native Fetch API. Its release cadence was irregular towards the end of its active lifecycle, with its last update occurring several years ago.
