Cross Domain Get Request in JS/JQuery

Question

Is there a way without using a server proxy to perform a cross domain GET or POST request?

Answer 1

If you are with only the current day browsers and have control over the external domain, you can use Cross-Origin Resource Sharing [CORS]

Most people do not have that luxury so you either have to use JSON with Padding [JSONP] or you need to use a serverside proxy.
