In React Native, the XHR module is used to implement the XMLHttpRequest. It is an object for interacting with remote services. This object is consists of two parts, front-end and back-end, where the front-end allows interacting within JavaScript. It sends the request to the XHR back-end, which is responsible for a processing network request. The back-end part is called Networking.
In React Native, the XHR (XMLHttpRequest) module is not directly used. Instead, the standard Fetch API is commonly used for making network requests. The Fetch API provides a more modern and flexible way to handle asynchronous operations, including making HTTP requests.
To make HTTP requests in React Native, you can use the fetch
function, which is built into JavaScript and supported in React Native. Here’s a simple example:
fetch(‘https://api.example.com/data’)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data))
.catch(error => console.error(‘Error:’, error));
If you need more advanced features or want to work with third-party libraries, you might also consider using Axios or other networking libraries, but the core fetch
functionality should cover most basic use cases.
