How to make an HTTP request in Javascript?

In JavaScript, you can make HTTP requests using the built-in XMLHttpRequest object or the newer fetch API. Here are examples of how to use both of these methods:

Using XMLHttpRequest:

const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('GET', 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1');
xhr.onload = function() {
  if (xhr.status === 200) {
    console.log(xhr.responseText);
  } else {
    console.error('Request failed.  Returned status of ' + xhr.status);
  }
};
xhr.send();

Using fetch:

fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1')
  .then(response => {
    if (response.ok) {
      return response.json();
    } else {
      throw new Error('Request failed.');
    }
  })
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(error => console.error(error));

Both of these examples make a GET request to the same URL and log the response data to the console. You can modify the method, URL, and request data to make different types of requests.
