Fetch JSON helper

Tiny wrapper for JSON requests with error handling.

export async function requestJSON(url, options = {}) {
  const response = await fetch(url, {
    headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json", ...(options.headers || {}) },
    ...options,
  });

  const payload = await response.json().catch(() => ({}));

  if (!response.ok) {
    const message = payload?.message || response.statusText;
    throw new Error(message);
  }

  return payload;
}

// Usage
const data = await requestJSON("/api/data", { method: "POST", body: JSON.stringify({ hello: "world" }) });
