In PHP we have a function called file_get_contents where it gets the content of a website and turns it into a string, but what about JavaScript? What is JavaScript's equivalent to file_get_contents? Is there one? 

$string = file_get_contents("http://example.com/");

I do NOT have access to PHP, I'm using tampermonkey to edit this code, so it's JavaScript ONLY.

For node, there's http.get().

For modern browsers, there's fetch().

For older browsers, there's XHR.
