crossDomain usages ?

crossDomain usages ?

I asked here :  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21255194/usages-of-jquerys-ajax-crossdomain-property

a question about crossDomain. 

From the docs , it is not understood when should I use it !

if i'm using it with jsonp , so the response type is application/javascript which is not a subject to cross domain.

so I dont see when should i use it.
