How can you best access product information for a JavaScript framework integrated within a Shopify theme?

Accessing product information programmatically within a Shopify theme, particularly when working with a JavaScript framework, is best achieved by making a GET request to Shopify's API. The Shopify API provides a robust and efficient way to retrieve a variety of data regarding products, including details such as titles, prices, images, and variants.

Using a GET request to the API allows developers to interact with Shopify's backend system directly, enabling real-time data retrieval and reducing overhead associated with rendering data through other means. This method is ideal for dynamic applications where product information needs to be fetched and displayed without reloading the page or impacting the site's performance negatively.

The other methods presented may not provide the same level of efficiency or direct access to product data:

• Returning products as JSON via a new Liquid template is a more indirect method that involves additional overhead by rendering Liquid before sending data to the client-side, making it less efficient for dynamic interactions.
• Using a ScriptTag resource to import products would be an inadequate approach because ScriptTags primarily load JavaScript code rather than handle data retrieval directly, complicating the access to product information.
• Creating a private app to access product data is more suitable for server-level interactions or when dealing with extensive data manipulations; however, it involves
