Create and parses JWT (JSON Web Tokens)
Documentation: stable
Modules§
- crypto
- Lower level functions, if you want to do something other than JWTs
- errors
- All the errors that can be encountered while encoding/decoding JWTs
- jwk
Structs§
- Header
- A basic JWT header, the alg defaults to HS256 and typ is automatically
set to
JWT. All the other fields are optional. - Token
Data - The return type of a successful call to decode.
- Validation
- Contains the various validations that are applied after decoding a JWT.
Enums§
- Algorithm
- The algorithms supported for signing/verifying JWTs
- Decoding
Key - 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
- Encoding
Key - A key to encode a JWT with. Can be a secret, a PEM-encoded key or a DER-encoded key. This key can be re-used so make sure you only initialize it once if you can for better performance
Functions§
- dangerous_
insecure_ decode - Decode a JWT without any signature verification/validations.
- dangerous_
insecure_ decode_ with_ validation - Decode and validate a JWT without any signature verification.
- dangerous_
unsafe_ decode Deprecated - Decode a JWT without any signature verification/validations. DEPRECATED.
- 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.
