CDNJS vs CORS Proxy

cdnjs mirrors thousands of open-source JavaScript, CSS, and font libraries on Cloudflare's edge network, and its free `/libraries` and `/libraries/:library` endpoints expose the same catalogue as JSON — name, latest version, file list, SRI hashes, and linked GitHub metadata — backed by Algolia search. No key or signup is required for either the asset CDN or the metadata API, and responses cache for six hours server-side.

CORS Proxy is a small open-source Node.js server (54 GitHub stars) that forwards a POST request's urlToGet body param to the target URL server-side and relays the response back with permissive CORS headers, sidestepping browser CORS errors for GET-able resources. It is a deploy-it-yourself utility, not a hosted service — the README's old Heroku demo link is dead since Heroku retired free dynos in 2022, so it only works once cloned and deployed to your own host.
