CORS in IBM Cloudant

IBM Cloudant is a NoSQL JSON document store that is optimized for handling heavy workloads of concurrent reads and writes in the cloud; a workload that is typical of large, fast-growing web and mobile apps. It provides a simple JSON API for configuring CORS for your database, which may be changed dynamically.

How to GET or PUT a CORS configuration in IBM Cloudant

IBM Cloudant provides the endpoint /_api/v2/user/config/cors. A GET call to the endpoint retrieves the CORS configuration for your application. You can change the CORS configuration with a PUT call to the endpoint.
