## What it is
ScribeJava is a simple, threadsafe OAuth client library for Java supporting OAuth 1.0a and OAuth 2.0 flows. It ships prebuilt API integrations and pluggable HTTP client modules (OkHttp, Apache, Async Http Client, Armeria, Ning) and works on Java 7+ including Android.

## Use cases
- add sign-in with Google to a Java app
- authenticate against LinkedIn's OAuth2 API
- get OAuth access tokens for a REST API in Java
- use OAuth in an Android app
- swap HTTP clients for OAuth token requests
- implement OAuth 1.0a signing for legacy APIs

## When to choose
- you need OAuth 1.0a or OAuth 2.0 client support on the JVM
- you want prebuilt configurations for popular providers like Google, GitHub, LinkedIn
- you need Android or old Java version compatibility
- you want to plug in your own or async HTTP client

## When to avoid
- you need a full OAuth/OIDC server or identity provider
- you need OpenID Connect token validation and session management rather than token acquisition
- your project is not on the JVM
