I am now using the basic network calls using axios from my server. It is working pretty well, wondering if I need to think of migrating to the auth0-node library.

Any idea if the auth0-node library is handling any stuff like:

- Performance
- Security
- Etc

Thanks

Hi @amal.jose,

Welcome to the Community!

The library is a client library for the Auth0 Authentication and Management API. It is regularly supported and updated by Auth0 and intended for production use.

@dan.woda

Thanks for the reply,

I refactored from plain network calls to the library.  
Because:

- Library has caching for token
- No need to stress on adding extra code for handling network calls

The refactor was smooth.

Thanks again ✌🏻
