It lets you enable CORS either globally across your entire application or selectively for specific routes and resources, managing the HTTP headers that browsers use to determine whether cross-origin requests are allowed.\n\nThe package integrates directly into CherryPy's configuration system, so you enable it by adding tool settings to your route or application config rather than writing custom middleware. It has been stable since its initial release and requires only CherryPy and httpagentparser as runtime dependencies, making it lightweight to add to existing CherryPy projects.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is a lightweight, actively maintained tool for a common need in web development. If you're building a CherryPy application that needs to serve cross-origin requests, it's the natural choice. The permissive MIT license and low dependency count make it safe to add.
