A Django app that adds Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) headers to HTTP responses via middleware. It allows in-browser requests to a Django application from other origins with configurable allowed origins, methods, and headers.

Use cases

• enable CORS for a Django REST API consumed by a separate frontend
• allow browser requests to Django from another domain
• configure allowed CORS origins and headers in Django
• fix cross-origin request blocked errors in a Django app
• serve a React or Vue frontend from a different origin than Django

When to choose

• you run a Django backend that browsers on other origins need to call
• you want a mature, well-maintained, configurable CORS solution for Django

When to avoid

• your project does not use Django
• you need CORS handling at a proxy or gateway level rather than in the app
