h1. Why
In order to implement the SDK for the IDM service, there are a few options. We need to make a decision on which approach we will take.
h1. What
Options to consider are:
* Option 1 - Use an existing 3rd party implementation
** Pros
*** Small amount of work required.
*** Opportunity to contribute to the open source project
** Cons
*** No control over the priority of feature delivery
* Option 2 - Create our own SDK, but it will depends on an existing 3rd party implementation
** Pros
*** Relatively less amount of work
*** Full control of the features
*** Can change 3rd party lib without impact on the users
** Cons
*** Need to make sure the user's app is not using a conflicting 3rd party lib
* Option 3 - Eat our own dog food
** Pros
*** Full control of the features
*** No dependency on 3rd party lib
*** Fully target towards our own usecase
** Cons
*** A lot of work
*** Potentially re-invent the wheel?
The decision from this should apply for all the service SDKs, not only just the IDM service SDK.
h2. How
Create a proposal to https://github.com/aerogear/proposals/pull/8 and recommend option 2.
The 3rd party library we are going to use is AppAuth:
