## What it is
An extensible, strongly-typed Rust implementation of the OAuth2 protocol (RFC 6749). It provides a client library for OAuth2 authorization flows, including PKCE support, and serves as the foundation for the openidconnect crate.

## Use cases
- implement OAuth2 login in a Rust application
- add PKCE authorization code flow to a CLI tool
- authenticate against an OAuth2 provider from a backend service
- build single sign-on integration in Rust
- exchange authorization codes for access tokens
- implement social login without full OpenID Connect

## When to choose
- you need a type-safe, standards-compliant OAuth2 client in Rust
- you want a minimal library without OpenID Connect overhead
- you need PKCE support for public clients
- you want to build OpenID Connect support on top of OAuth2

## When to avoid
- you need OpenID Connect features like ID token validation - use the openidconnect crate instead
- you need an OAuth2 server/provider implementation
- you are not working in Rust

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: auth, http-client, security
- domain: security, web-development, apis
- platform: rust
- tags: oauth2, pkce, rfc6749, authentication
