API

useFetch(input: string | Request, init?: Object): {
  error: ?Error,
  response: ?Response
}

Receives the same arguments as fetch and returns an object with the response and the request error.

useJsonResponse(response: ?Response): [?Object, ?Error];

Receives a fetch response and returns a tuple with the result of response.json() and the error of parsing. If the response is null or undefined nothing is done.
