NAME

Net::OAuth2Server - A light, simple, flexible OAuth2 server framework

DISCLAIMER

I cannot promise that the API is fully stable yet. For that reason, no documentation is provided.

DESCRIPTION

A server-side OAuth2 framework with the following aims:

  • Well designed for direct use as-is within a web application

    Application programmers should have a reasonable abstraction to build on so they can fill in the specifics of their application without having to reimplement significant parts of the protocol anyway.

  • Extensible enough as a framework to implement any OAuth2 extension

    It should be possible to implement any OAuth2 extension such that it can easily be shipped as a CPAN module.

  • Independent from specific web frameworks

    It should not be necessary to reimplement OAuth2 as a plugin or extension for every single framework.

  • Frugal in dependencies and means of implementation

    OAuth2 is not deep or clever technology, it is glue. There is no need for anything deep or clever in an implementation of it.

SEE ALSO

This is a very distant descendant of the server portion of OAuth::Lite2.
