Copy-Paste Starter Examples

Ready for prod apps

Start with a clean client setup, then layer in retries and security controls as your traffic and surface area grow.

Quick Start Client

1import { createCrossConnection } from "cross-connection";
2
3const client = createCrossConnection({
4  baseURL: "https://api.example.com",
5  retry: { retries: 2, baseDelayMs: 120, maxDelayMs: 1200 },
6});
7
8const response = await client.get("/health");
9console.log(response.data);

Security Config

1import { createCrossConnection } from "cross-connection";
2
3const client = createCrossConnection({
4  security: {
5    blockPrivateIPs: true,
6    blockPrivateIPv6: true,
7    blockLocalhost: true,
8    allowHosts: ["api.example.com", "*.trusted.internal"],
9    redactHeaders: ["authorization", "cookie", "x-api-key"],
10  },
11});

Metrics That Show The Edge

Compare reliability, tail latency, throughput, package footprint, and lightweight score against other popular API libraries.

Illustrative benchmark snapshot using a consistent request mix and environment profile.

Reliability Under Transient Failures

Tail Latency Distribution

Speed Comparison vs Popular Libraries

Higher throughput is better under the same traffic profile.

Bundle Size Comparison

Smaller footprint helps load and cold-start performance.

Lightweight Score Comparison

Composite score balancing size, speed, and runtime overhead.
