Description

Currently we depend on $.ajax. We should move away from that and instead use either the fetch api or something like superagent.

What we need is a ajax wrapper for the FauxtonAPI. It would be a module in here https://github.com/apache/couchdb-fauxton/tree/master/app/core

Then we could use it like this:

FauxtonAPI.post(url, data);

The one requirement is that is must work for CORS as well.

[EDIT by robertkowalski]: maybe there is a super thin wrapper around the fetch api?
