zlFetch is a lightweight JavaScript library that wraps the native Fetch API with quality-of-life improvements. It automatically parses response bodies based on `Content-Type` (JSON, text, form-urlencoded, NDJSON, Blob), provides promise-based error handling that rejects on 4xx/5xx status codes, supports request aborting, and includes shorthand methods for GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE. The library also offers streaming capabilities (SSE, NDJSON, chunked transfer), an EventSource wrapper for server-sent events, query string helpers, authorization header helpers, and a `createZlFetch` factory for pre-configured instances. The code is modular, well-typed with JSDoc, and thoroughly tested across browser and Node.js environments using vitest.
