The official CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) middleware for the Gin web framework in Go. It provides configurable handling of allowed origins, methods, headers, credentials, and preflight caching for Gin-based HTTP APIs.

Use cases

• enable CORS on a Gin API server
• allow requests from a specific frontend origin
• handle preflight OPTIONS requests in Go
• configure credentialed cross-origin requests
• restrict allowed HTTP methods and headers cross-origin
• add CORS headers to a REST API written in Go

When to choose

• you use the Gin framework and need CORS support
• you want a small, well-maintained, configurable CORS middleware
• you need custom origin validation logic in Go

When to avoid

• your server does not use Gin
• you need CORS for a non-Go stack
• you need a general-purpose HTTP middleware framework rather than CORS specifically
