EASY CORS: Simplified Cross Domain Request Patching
EASY CORS is a free Chrome add-on developed by Ikeq Cheng. It falls under the category of Browsers and specifically the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools. This plugin is designed to add CORS headers to the response header, enabling successful cross-domain requests for developers, particularly front-end developers.
The main highlight of EASY CORS is its simplified user interface, which makes it easy to navigate and use. With just a few clicks, developers can set the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header to the request domain's origin, instead of using the wildcard character (*). This allows for more secure and controlled cross-domain communication.
Another notable feature of EASY CORS is its blacklist mode. Instead of using a whitelist approach, where only specific origins are allowed, this plugin allows developers to set their development servers' origin as the only acceptable source. This provides an added layer of security and control over cross-domain requests.
Overall, EASY CORS provides a convenient solution for front-end developers who need to patch HTTP headers and enable cross-domain requests. Its simplified UI and blacklist mode make it a valuable tool in the developer's toolkit.
