simple-oauth2 is a Node.js client library for the OAuth 2.0 authorization framework. It supports the authorization code, resource owner password credentials, and client credentials grant types, plus token refresh and revocation.

Use cases

• implement oauth2 authorization code flow in node.js
• get access tokens via client credentials grant
• refresh expired oauth2 access tokens
• revoke oauth2 access or refresh tokens
• authenticate against an oauth2 api from a node backend
• handle oauth2 password grant authentication

When to choose

• you need a lightweight, focused oauth2 client in Node.js
• you want support for the common grant types without a full framework
• you need token refresh and revocation helpers

When to avoid

• you need an oauth2 server or provider implementation
• you need OpenID Connect features beyond plain OAuth2
• you need a framework-integrated auth middleware solution
