Summary

Fixes the description of authlib in the Authentication > OAuth section.

Current (incorrect):

JavaScript Object Signing and Encryption draft implementation.

Proposed (correct):

A comprehensive library for building OAuth 1.0, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect clients and servers.

Why this change?

The current description is inaccurate and appears to be a copy-paste error. Authlib is a Python library for OAuth and OpenID Connect — it is not a "JavaScript" library. The JOSE (JSON Object Signing and Encryption) functionality is just one feature of Authlib, not its primary purpose.

The proposed description accurately reflects Authlib's scope as documented on its official README: "The ultimate Python library in building OAuth and OpenID Connect servers and clients."

Checklist

  • Description is accurate and concise
  • Entry follows the correct format
  • No duplicate entries
