SWR: Detailed Overview & Metrics
SWR is a lightweight React Hooks library for data fetching. It provides a simple and efficient way to fetch data, revalidate it, and cache the results. SWR focuses on providing a great developer experience by automatically revalidating data when the component is re-rendered or when the window is focused. It also offers features like error handling, deduplication of requests, and polling for real-time updates.
Compared to other data fetching libraries like Axios or Fetch, SWR is specifically designed for React applications and seamlessly integrates with the React ecosystem. Its simplicity, performance optimizations, and built-in caching make it a popular choice for managing data fetching in React projects.
