Why Port Axios Instead of JavaScript’s fetch API?

While fetch is a powerful API for making network requests in JavaScript, Axios' model offers several advantages that make it a wonderful fit for Unity development in C#.

Key reasons for choosing Axios as the foundation for Uxios include:

1. JSON Serialization and Deserialization: Axios has a built-in concept of serializing data to and from JSON, which aligns naturally with how Unity developers often handle data. This minimizes boilerplate code and ensures a streamlined experience for handling JSON-based APIs, a common requirement in game and application development.

2. Interceptors: Axios’s native support for request and response interceptors opens up a world of possibilities. Unity developers can use interceptors to log network calls, handle authentication, or add error handling with ease. In a debugging context, for example, interceptors allow for seamless logging of all networking calls, giving developers insight into their application's network behavior without invasive code changes.

3. Leverage C#’s Strong Typing: The Axios-inspired approach in Uxios plays well with C#’s powerful type system. Developers can define and enforce types more strictly than in JavaScript, reducing runtime errors and making code easier to maintain and refactor.

This combination of JSON handling, flexible interceptors, and strong typing in C# positions Uxios as a highly productive, efficient library for Unity developers building network-reliant applications.
