6//! CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) configuration for A2A dispatchers.
7//!
8//! Browser-based A2A clients need CORS headers to interact with agents.
9//! [`CorsConfig`] provides configurable CORS support that can be applied to
10//! both [`RestDispatcher`](super::RestDispatcher) and
11//! [`JsonRpcDispatcher`](super::JsonRpcDispatcher).

19/// CORS configuration for A2A dispatchers.
20///
21/// # Examples
22///
23/// ```
24/// use a2a_protocol_server::dispatch::cors::CorsConfig;
25///
26/// // Allow all origins (development/testing).
27/// let cors = CorsConfig::permissive();
28///
29/// // Restrict to a specific origin.
30/// let cors = CorsConfig::new("https://my-app.example.com");
31/// ```
32///
33/// `#[non_exhaustive]`: build it with [`CorsConfig::new`] or
34/// [`CorsConfig::permissive`] and the `with_*` setters, which cover every
35/// field; a struct literal is not available outside this crate, so a field
36/// added later does not break callers.
