## What it is
The Django integration component of the python-social-auth ecosystem, providing social authentication and registration via OAuth2 and other providers. It wraps social-auth-core so Django projects can add 'sign in with' functionality for many external identity providers.

## Use cases
- add sign in with Google to a Django app
- let users register and log in with GitHub or Facebook
- implement OAuth2 social login in Django
- replace manual password auth with social providers
- integrate multiple identity providers behind one auth pipeline

## When to choose
- you have a Django project and want social provider login with minimal setup
- you need support for many OAuth/OAuth2 providers from one library
- you want a mature, BSD-licensed auth integration with active maintenance

## When to avoid
- your project is not Django-based (use the framework-specific sibling packages)
- you only need simple username/password auth with no external providers
- you need full control over a custom OAuth flow rather than a pipeline-based approach

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: auth, middleware
- domain: web-development, backend, security
- platform: python
