## What it is
A Java wrapper/client library for Spotify's Web API, published on Maven Central. It provides typed request and response objects covering Spotify's endpoints, including authorization flows.

## Use cases
- build a Java app that reads a user's Spotify playlists
- authenticate with Spotify using client credentials or authorization code flow
- search for tracks and artists from a JVM backend
- control playback on a user's Spotify account from a server
- fetch audio features and metadata for tracks in a data pipeline

## When to choose
- you are building a JVM (Java/Kotlin/Scala) server or desktop application that talks to the Spotify Web API
- you want typed models and request builders instead of raw HTTP calls
- you need Maven Central dependency with an MIT license

## When to avoid
- you are developing an Android app (the README explicitly says this library is not for Android)
- you need a non-Spotify music service or a generic HTTP client
- you require guaranteed API stability, since Spotify frequently makes breaking changes without notice

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: http-client, auth, sdk
- domain: apis, developer-tools, media
- platform: jvm, cross-platform
- tags: spotify, music, web-api, wrapper, jvm
