q25 What Is Cors

CORS, or Cross Origin Resource Sharing, is a security feature that enables web applications to request resources from different domains. By default, browsers block these cross-origin requests unless explicitly allowed by the server through specific HTTP headers. Key CORS headers include Access-Control-Allow-Origin, Access-Control-Allow-Methods, Access-Control-Allow-Headers, and Access-Control-Allow-Credentials, which define permissions for origins, HTTP methods, request headers, and credential sharing, respectively.
