CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) is one of the most frustrating challenges developers face when working with REST APIs. You make a request, and suddenly, the browser blocks it with the dreaded "No ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ header" error. But why does this happen, and how do you fix it without compromising security?
In this video, we’ll break down how CORS works, why the Same-Origin Policy exists, and the difference between Simple Requests and Preflight Requests. We’ll dive into real-world solutions, from backend fixes using Node.js and Spring Boot to frontend workarounds like proxies and browser extensions.
If you’ve ever struggled with cross-origin issues, this is your ultimate guide to fixing CORS the right way.
