hello.js is a client-side JavaScript SDK for authenticating with OAuth2 (and OAuth1 via a proxy) web services and querying their REST APIs. It standardizes paths and responses across providers like Google, Facebook, and Windows Live Connect through a modular architecture.

Use cases

• add social login with Google, Facebook, or Microsoft to a web app
• fetch a user's profile and contacts from OAuth providers
• upload photos or post status updates to social networks from the browser
• standardize OAuth2 authentication flows across multiple providers
• query REST APIs of social platforms with a unified interface

When to choose

• you need client-side OAuth2 sign-in with multiple social providers in a browser app
• you want a unified, normalized API for several social networks instead of per-provider SDKs
• you need a lightweight, modular JavaScript library for social authentication

When to avoid

• you need server-side or backend OAuth flows rather than browser-based authentication
• you only target a single provider and prefer its official first-party SDK
• you need modern, actively developed auth tooling - the project is in maintenance with a rewrite still in progress
