'switching from ajax function to fetch

I have a little ajax function that return a url in a modal window. I have been told that the fetch API is better. I cant find a way to do the equivalent to what I already have. Can anyone give me an example of some thing similar to

function loadDoc(url) {
  var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest()
  xhttp.onreadystatechange = function () {
    if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
      document.getElementById('results').innerHTML = this.responseText
    } else
      document.getElementById('results').innerHTML =
        '<div class="loader" style="display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center;padding: 150px 0;">' +
        '<img src="/eigg/img/ajax-loader.gif" alt="Smiley face" style="width: 50px;height: auto;background-repeat: no-repeat;"></div>'
  }

  xhttp.open('POST', url, true)
  xhttp.send()
}

Much appreciated, I find the docs quite hard to understand. Also would be nice to know why fetch is "better" than ajax

ajax fetch
