A Comprehensive Roadmap for OAuth 2.0 Standards and Drafts

The OAuth 2.0 ecosystem has expanded significantly since the publication of RFC 6749, resulting in a complex landscape of extensions, security best practices (BCPs), and application-specific profiles. This complexity can be daunting for implementers, architects, and security auditors. This document serves as a comprehensive roadmap to navigate this landscape. It categorizes key RFCs and active Internet-Drafts into functional areas, explains the relationships between them, and provides context on their evolution. The goal is to help readers understand the current state-of-the-art, select the appropriate specifications for their use cases, and follow the latest security best practices, while also offering a glimpse into the future directions of the framework.
