good source: https://github.github.io/fetch/

• https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API/Using_Fetch

• From WHATWG (Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group): https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/

• defaults:

  • method: 'GET'

I keep all my JSON notes here: https://github.com/Codemon72/JavaScript--Gym_and_Library/blob/master/JSON.md

  • json() - watch out if you are in JS or in Express land!
