A Go library for building OAuth 2.0 authorization servers that issue and manage access tokens. It supports the standard OAuth 2.0 protocol flows with pluggable token and client storage backends.

Use cases

  • implement an oauth2 authorization server in go
  • issue access tokens for my api
  • add oauth2 provider endpoints to a go web app
  • handle authorization code and token requests
  • store oauth2 clients and tokens in a custom backend

When to choose

  • you need to act as an OAuth 2.0 provider in a Go service
  • you want a lightweight, embeddable OAuth2 server library with pluggable storage
  • you need standard flows like authorization code and client credentials

When to avoid

  • you only need to consume OAuth2 APIs as a client
  • you want a full turnkey identity provider with UI (use Keycloak or similar)
  • your project is not written in Go
