CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) is a mechanism that allows browsers to make requests to servers on different origins.Browsers send preflight requests to servers to check how they will behave and if they are safe.CORS headers like Access-Control-Max-Age and Access-Control-Allow-Origin control the behavior of browsers and servers during cross-origin requests.CORS is not a bug, but a boundary to protect user data and enhance security in the web universe.
