The command "serve --cors" is used in the context of running a server or hosting a website/application.

"serve" is a command-line tool or package that allows you to quickly set up and host a static website or a server for your application. It simplifies the process of serving files, handling requests, and managing the server.

"--cors" is a flag or option that is passed to the "serve" command. It stands for "Cross-Origin Resource Sharing". When this flag is included, it enables Cross-Origin Resource Sharing, which is a mechanism that allows web browsers to make requests to a different domain or origin than the one that served the website.

In simpler terms, including "--cors" in the "serve" command allows the server to respond to requests made by web pages hosted on different domains. This can be useful for web applications or APIs that need to access server resources from multiple domains or origins.
