go-oidc is a mature Go client library for OpenID Connect, built on top of golang.org/x/oauth2. It enables verifying ID tokens and identifying users or workloads across many identity providers such as Google, Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Auth0, and Kubernetes.

Use cases

• add OpenID Connect login to a Go web app
• verify JWT ID tokens from an identity provider
• authenticate users via Google, Apple, or Microsoft sign-in
• validate workload identity tokens from GitHub Actions or Kubernetes
• integrate enterprise SSO with Okta or Auth0 in Go
• perform OIDC discovery from an issuer URL

When to choose

• you are building a Go application that needs OIDC authentication or token verification
• you need to support many identity providers with a provider-agnostic API
• you want a widely adopted, battle-tested OIDC client (1000+ importers)

When to avoid

• you need a full identity provider or authorization server rather than a client
• you are not using Go
• you need OAuth2-only flows without OpenID Connect features
