errors

All the errors that can be encountered while encoding/decoding JWTs

Structs

DecodingKey

All the different kind of keys we can use to decode a JWT This key can be re-used so make sure you only initialize it once if you can for better performance

Validation

Contains the various validations that are applied after decoding a JWT.

Algorithm

Functions

dangerous_unsafe_decode

Decode a JWT without any signature verification/validations.

decode

Decode and validate a JWT

decode_header

Decode a JWT without any signature verification/validations and return its Header.

encode

Encode the header and claims given and sign the payload using the algorithm from the header and the key. If the algorithm given is RSA or EC, the key needs to be in the PEM format.
