ajar v0.2.0

ajar

A minimal, promise-driven XMLHttpRequest-wrapper, promoting REST and JSON.

Overview

var ajar = require('ajar')
ajar.get('/entities/47').then(console.log)

Supported HTTP-methods are GET, POST, PUT and DELETE, all of them accept optional data parameters: GET and DELETE sends them as querystring parameters, while POST and PUT sends them as JSON-encoded body data.

On success the promise resolves with the JSON-decoded result. On error the promise is rejected, the reason being either the XMLHttpRequest object or a corresponding Error object (eq. SyntaxError for JSON parsing errors). Error handling is subject to change.

Design Goals

• minimal, simple
• ES6, dependency free
• REST, JSON

Which means: Looking for integrated XML validation with DOM-parsing or automated request queuing with rate-limiting controls? Go look somewhere else.
