Need of Axios in React
As we have discussed that Axios allows you to communicate with the APIs in your React project. The same tasks can also be performed by using AJAX, but Axios provide you more functionality and features and that helps you in building your application quickly.
Axios is a promise-based library, so you need to implement some promise-based asynchronous HTTP requests. jQuery and AJAX also perform the same job but in React project React handles each and everything in its own virtual DOM, so there is no need to use jQuery at all.
Below is an example to fetch the customer’s data using Axios…
Javascript
const getCustomersData = () => { axios .get( "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/customers" ) .then(data => console.log(data.data)) . catch (error => console.log(error)); }; getCustomersData(); |
Now let’s come to the next point and understand how different operations can be performed such as fetching the data or consuming the data using Axios (GET-POST-DELETE).

In React, backend communication is typically achieved using the HTTP protocol. While many developers are familiar with the XML HTTP request interface and Fetch API for making HTTP requests, there’s another powerful library called Axios that simplifies the process further.
