Yeah there are some good code generators out there. The problem that I’m trying to solve is that it varies so widely between providers. For example, I just implemented OAuth for a provider yesterday that was almost completely undocumented.

So rather than gambling each time, if you use Xkit you can just skip thinking about the authentication entirely. It brings with it some nice architectural (get tokens in any service) and security (don’t worry about encrypting tokens and rotating encryption) benefits.
