## What it is
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 It is no longer maintained; the successor project is oidc-client-ts.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

## Facets
- artifact type: library

- function: auth, http-client
- domain: web-development, frontend, security, apis
- platform: browser
