request vs requests: What are the differences?
# Introduction
1. **Installation**: request is a core Node.js module, so it doesn't require installation, while requests is a third-party module that needs to be installed using a package manager like pip.
2. **Usability**: request is used for making HTTP calls in Node.js, while requests is used for the same purpose in Python.
3. **Syntax**: In request, the syntax for making a basic HTTP GET request includes the URL and a callback function, while requests in Python uses a simpler syntax with fewer parameters.
4. **Asynchronous vs Synchronous**: request in Node.js is asynchronous by default, utilizing callbacks or promises for handling responses, while requests in Python can be synchronous, relying on functions like `response.json()` for data extraction.
5. **Community Support**: request has a large and active community since it's a core module, providing extensive documentation and resources, while requests has robust community support from Python developers with a wide range of libraries and frameworks that enhance its functionality.
In Summary, request and requests differ in installation method, usability, syntax, asynchronous behavior, and community support.

What are some alternatives to request and requests?
jQuery
jQuery is a cross-platform JavaScript library designed to simplify the client-side scripting of HTML.
React
Lots of people use React as the V in MVC. Since React makes no assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, it's easy to try it out on a small feature in an existing project.
AngularJS
AngularJS lets you write client-side web applications as if you had a smarter browser. It lets you use good old HTML (or HAML, Jade and friends!) as your template language and lets you extend HTML’s syntax to express your application’s components clearly and succinctly. It automatically synchronizes data from your UI (view) with your JavaScript objects (model) through 2-way data binding.
Vue.js
It is a library for building interactive web interfaces. It provides data-reactive components with a simple and flexible API.
jQuery UI
Whether you're building highly interactive web applications or you just need to add a date picker to a form control, jQuery UI is the perfect choice.
