oidc-client is a JavaScript library providing OpenID Connect (OIDC) and OAuth2 protocol support for browser-based client applications, including user session and access token management. It is no longer maintained; the successor project is oidc-client-ts.

Use cases

• add OpenID Connect login to a browser-based JavaScript app
• handle OAuth2 authorization code and implicit flows in the browser
• manage access tokens and silent renewal in a SPA
• manage user sessions and sign-out for a client-side app
• get user profile claims from an identity provider in JavaScript

When to choose

• maintaining a legacy JavaScript app already built on oidc-client
• you need a battle-tested browser OIDC library and can accept no updates

When to avoid

• starting a new project - use oidc-client-ts instead
• you need TypeScript support or ongoing security updates
• server-side or Node-only OAuth flows
