Goth is a Go library providing a simple, idiomatic way to add multi-provider authentication to web applications via OAuth, OAuth2, and OpenID Connect. It supports 60+ identity providers (Google, GitHub, Facebook, etc.) through a common Provider and Session interface, inspired by Ruby's OmniAuth.

Use cases

• add social login to a Go web app
• authenticate users with Google or GitHub OAuth in Go
• support multiple OAuth providers with one library
• implement OpenID Connect authentication in Go
• build sign-in-with-X flows for a Go backend
• unify OAuth2 provider sessions in a Go application

When to choose

• you need OAuth/OAuth2/OpenID Connect login in a Go web application
• you want to support many identity providers through a single consistent interface
• you want an OmniAuth-like experience in Go

When to avoid

• you need full-featured user management, registration, or MFA rather than just authentication
• you need a non-Go solution or a hosted identity platform's native SDK
• you only need simple username/password auth with no third-party providers
