Xr – A modern ES6 Promise-based XMLHttpRequest wrapper

In plain words

Xr is an ultra-lightweight wrapper around XMLHttpRequest that uses ES6 Promises for cleaner asynchronous request handling. It is designed for developers who need a minimal HTTP client library for JavaScript applications. The tool acknowledges that modern alternatives like the Fetch API or RxJS may be more appropriate for many use cases, positioning itself as a lightweight option for those with specific compatibility or size constraints.
