## What it is
A Node.js library implementing an OpenID Certified OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server with full OpenID Connect support. It is highly configurable and implements a wide range of OAuth/OIDC specifications including PKCE, CIBA, FAPI, and dynamic client registration.

## Use cases
- run my own openid connect identity provider in node.js
- implement an oauth2 authorization server
- add single sign-on to my applications
- issue jwt access tokens for my api
- support device flow login for smart tv apps
- build a fapi-compliant financial-grade auth server
- enable pkce for mobile and spa clients

## When to choose
- you need a certified, standards-compliant OAuth 2.0 / OIDC provider embedded in a Node.js app
- you need advanced flows like CIBA, PAR, JAR, DPoP, or FAPI profiles
- you want full control over identity provider behavior and storage adapters

## When to avoid
- you just want a hosted identity service with minimal setup (use Auth0, Keycloak, etc.)
- your stack is not Node.js
- you only need simple session-based login without OAuth/OIDC

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: auth, authorization, http-server, middleware, security
- domain: security, apis, web-development, backend, developer-tools
- platform: self-hosted
- tags: oauth2, openid-connect, oidc-provider, authorization-server, identity, sso, fapi, pkce, certified, nodejs, web-server
