Low-Level OAuth 2 / OpenID Connect Client API for JavaScript Runtimes
This software provides a collection of routines that can be used to build client modules for OAuth 2.1, OAuth 2.0 with the latest Security Best Current Practices (BCP), and FAPI 2.0, as well as OpenID Connect where applicable. The primary goal of this software is to promote secure and up-to-date best practices while using only the capabilities common to both browser and non-browser JavaScript runtimes.
Features
The following features are currently in scope and implemented in this software:
Authorization Server Metadata discovery
Authorization Code Flow (profiled under OpenID Connect 1.0, OAuth 2.0, OAuth 2.1, and FAPI 2.0), with PKCE
Refresh Token, Device Authorization, and Client Credentials Grants
Demonstrating Proof-of-Possession at the Application Layer (DPoP)

Filip Skokan has certified that this software conforms to the Basic, FAPI 1.0, and FAPI 2.0 Relying Party Conformance Profiles of the OpenID Connect™ protocol.
