CORS

CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) is a security feature in web browsers that controls how web pages can request data from different domains. It ensures that a website hosted on one domain can only access resources from another domain if the other domain explicitly allows it. This helps prevent malicious websites from stealing data or manipulating content from other sites. Essentially, CORS acts as a gatekeeper, enabling safe data sharing across different web servers while protecting users’ security and privacy.
