CORS
(Cross-Origin Resource Sharing)
CORS, or Cross-Origin Resource Sharing, is a security feature implemented by web browsers to allow or restrict web pages from making requests to a different domain than the one that served the web page. This mechanism is essential for enabling secure cross-domain communication in web applications.
CORS is commonly used in modern web development to facilitate interactions between front-end applications and APIs hosted on different domains. By defining specific HTTP headers, developers can control which origins are permitted to access resources, ensuring data security while maintaining functionality. Without CORS, browsers would block such requests due to the same-origin policy, which restricts cross-domain requests by default.
