You probably don't need those CORS requests you are making

The article discusses CORS, or Cross-Origin Resource Sharing, which is an essential concept in web applications that interact with different origins. Nick Olinger, the author, explains why a lot of questions surrounding CORS can be misleading and how developers often ask questions that are not addressing the real issues they encounter in their work. CORS was developed to enhance the security of applications; however, the lack of full understanding can lead to unnecessary complications and difficulties. The article presents an example where there is no need for a CORS request if we learn to design our APIs correctly. Ultimately, the author emphasizes that understanding how CORS works, as well as knowing alternative solutions, can save time and effort during the application development process. Instead of getting lost in misconceptions, it’s better to focus on design approaches that take these limitations into account.
