| # API Routes Example with CORS | |
| Next.js ships with [API routes](https://nextjs.org/docs/api-routes/introduction) which provides an easy solution to build your own `API`. | |
| This example shows how to create an `API` endpoint with [CORS](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS) headers, using the [cors](https://github.com/expressjs/cors) package. | |

| ## How to use | |
| Execute [`create-next-app`](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/create-next-app) with [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/init), [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/cli/create/), or [pnpm](https://pnpm.io) to bootstrap the example: | |
