+### Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)
+
+[Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS) is a mechanism
+that uses additional HTTP headers to tell browsers to give a web application
+running at one origin, access to selected resources from a different origin. A
+web application executes a cross-origin HTTP request when it requests a resource
+that has a different origin (domain, protocol, or port) from its own.
+
+You can add the CORS [preflight](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS#Preflighted_requests) OPTIONS HTTP method to any API resource via the `addCorsPreflight` method.
+
+The following example will add an OPTIONS method to the `myResource` API resource, which
+only allows GET and PUT HTTP requests from the origin https://amazon.com.
+
+```ts
+myResource.addCorsPreflight({
+  allowOrigins: [ 'https://amazon.com' ],
+  allowMethods: [ 'GET', 'PUT' ]
+});
+```
+
+See the
+[`CorsOptions`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/latest/docs/@aws-cdk_aws-apigateway.CorsOptions.html)
+API reference for a detailed list of supported configuration options.
+
+You can specify default options for all resources within an API or a sub-tree using
+`defaultCorsPreflightOptions`:
+
+
+```ts
+new apigateway.RestApi(this, 'api', {
+  defaultCorsPreflightOptions: {
+    allowOrigins: [ 'https://amazon.com' ]
+  }
+});
+```
+
+This means that the construct will add a CORS preflight OPTIONS method to
+**all** HTTP resources in this API gateway.
+
+Similarly, you can specify this at the resource level:
+
+```ts
+const subtree = resource.addResource('subtree', {
+  defaultCorsPreflightOptions: {
+    allowOrigins: [ 'https://amazon.com' ]
+  }
+});
+```
+
+This means that all resources under `subtree` (inclusive) will have a preflight
+OPTIONS added to them.
+
+See [#906](https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/issues/906) for a list of CORS
+features which are not yet supported.
