* If the JavaScript application gets wrapped into a native app, then {{RFC8252}}
also requires the use of the Authorization Code grant type with PKCE anyway.

In OpenID Connect, the ID Token is sent in a known format (as a JWT), and digitally
signed. Returning an ID token using the Implicit grant type (`response_type=id_token`) requires the client
validate the JWT signature, as malicious parties could otherwise craft and supply
fraudulent ID tokens. Performing OpenID Connect using the Authorization Code grant type provides
the benefit of the client not needing to verify the JWT signature, as the ID token will
have been fetched over an HTTPS connection directly from the authorization server's token endpoint. Additionally,
in many cases an application will request both an ID token and an access token, so it is
simpler and provides fewer attack vectors to obtain both via the Authorization Code flow.
