## When it is useful

Use when implementing or debugging ANY network request, API call, or data fetching. Covers fetch API, React Query, SWR, error handling, caching, offline support, and Expo Router data loaders (`useLoaderData`).

## The Catch

“ANY network request” steals generic fetch/SWR outside Expo.
