## What it is
The Auth0 Next.js SDK is a TypeScript library for adding user authentication to Next.js applications via Auth0. It handles sign-in, sign-out, session cookie encryption, and callback routing with minimal configuration.

## Use cases
- add Auth0 login to a Next.js app
- implement sign-in and sign-out with OAuth/OIDC
- protect Next.js pages and API routes behind authentication
- manage encrypted session cookies in Next.js
- support Auth0 authentication in Vercel preview deployments
- retrieve user access tokens for calling APIs from Next.js

## When to choose
- you use Auth0 as your identity provider and build with Next.js
- you want a maintained official SDK with session handling out of the box
- you need App Router and Pages Router support with TypeScript

## When to avoid
- you use an identity provider other than Auth0
- you are not building a Next.js application
- you need fully self-hosted auth without an external identity service
