OAuth
## OAuth:
- OAuth is an open standard for access delegation, commonly used as a way for Internet users to grant websites or applications access to their information on other websites but without giving them the passwords.
## Why to use OAuth:
- It enables apps to obtain limited access (scopes) to a user’s data without giving away a user’s password.
- It decouples authentication from authorization and supports multiple use cases addressing different device capabilities.
## Single-Page Apps:
- Is a web application or website that interacts with the web browser by dynamically rewriting the current web page with new data from the web server, instead of the default method of the browser loading entire new pages. ## Client:
- A client is a piece of computer hardware or software that accesses a service made available by a server. The server is often on another computer system, in which case the client accesses the service by way of a network.
