QUESTION 24 OF 30

What do you know about CORS?

During the interview for the web developer's position, you will be asked many different questions about the technology used in your field. While you can't know about all the available technologies, you should be familiar with the most common ones. Additionally, the interviewer will be interested if you are up to date on some of the more recently released technologies. Reviewing these before the interview will increase your awareness and ability to at least identify what they do.

"CORS, which stands for Cross-Origin Resource Sharing, is an HTML5 technology that allows users to request different resources from a domain outside of the domain from which the resource came. Essentially, it enables two different websites to share resources. Normally this is not allowed due to security concerns, especially if the website uses a script to request the resource. CORS overcomes this by using code to identify the requesting domain, so the receiving domain understands that the request is valid."
