Ky vs Got (in 2023)

[adamreisnz]

Hello, the readme of this repo points to a tweet from 2019 where Got is recommended for NodeJS, and Ky for the browser.
Is this answer still valid in 2023, given that Node 18 now supports native fetch?

For a new project, should we use Got or Fetch in the Node environment, if there is no requirement for code sharing between server and client?

What are the latest recommendations?

Use Ky if it provides enough capabilities for your needs. Got excels at advanced use-cases. See out comparison table: https://github.com/sindresorhus/got#comparison

does ky have any advantage over got?

does ky have any advantage over got?

• Less code (meaning less chance of bugs)
• Just a thin wrapper over Fetch (which has more maintainers than Got)
• If you later need it to also work in the browser, it requires no changes.
• Works in Deno too.
