Comparing all four grant types, you can see that the "Authorization code" grant type is somewhat complex than the other three grant types.

Again, if you are not familiar with OAuth 2.0 framework or its grant types, visit my blog posts about, OAuth 2.0 OAuth 2.0 Token Grants 😊 As I was saying, I developed an application to demonstrate the flow of authorization_code grant, and I used JAVA as the language, Apache Maven as the building tool and Apache Tomcat as the web server. Lets see how this works. 😉 As you remember, the first thing to do as a client is to get the authorization code....
