To secure clients and services you are also going to need an adapter or library for the protocol you've selected. {{book.project.name}} comes with its own
adapters for selected platforms, but it is also possible to use generic OpenID Connect Resource Provider and SAML Service Provider libraries.

SAML has its uses though. As you see the OIDC specifications evolve you see they implement more and more features that SAML has had for years. What we often see is that people pick SAML over OIDC because of the perception that it is more mature and also because they already have existing applications that are secured with it.

== What are Client Adapters?
=== What are Client Adapters?
{{book.project.name}} client adapters are libraries that makes it very easy to secure applications and services with {{book.project.name}}. We call them
adapters rather than libraries as they provide a tight integration to the underlying platform and framework. This makes our adapters easy to use and they
require less boilerplate code than what is typically required by a library.
