Important information for Lawrence D'Oliveiro.
Basically you need to depend on a 3rd party that
did implememt the xmlhttprequest node module.

Namely this here:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/xmlhttprequest

You also need to install it besides the node.js
installation itself. You need to install the
node module package xmlhttprequest.

With fetch() you only need to install node.js,
and nothing else. Because since release 21,
fetch() is already part of native Node.js.

I wrote this already, but I can repeat it of
course again and again and again for you:

Please feel free to ask more questions if
your skull can not digest the information of
a difference between these two concepts:
- 3rd party API
- native API

Best is if you open a separate thread to
cleanup your confusion. Or see a psychatrist.
