title: What can I use in a React app as an equivalent of Angular's $http.get
body: <p>I am looking to make an http request within a React app and am wondering what the best method would be. 
  I know in Angular you can use <code>$http.get</code>, so something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$http.get('API').success(function(data) {...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But what can I use for the same purpose within a React App. Would something like Axios work?</p>
  
  <p>Forgive my ignorance, total newbie here.</p>
