Crate jsonwebtoken

Expand description

Create and parses JWT (JSON Web Tokens)

Documentation: stable

Modules§

crypto: Lower level functions, if you want to do something other than JWTs The cryptography of the jsonwebtoken crate is decoupled behind JwtSigner and JwtVerifier traits. These make use of RustCrypto’s Signer and Verifier traits respectively.
dangerous: Dangerous decoding functions that should be audited and used with extreme care.
errors: All the errors that can be encountered while encoding/decoding JWTs
jwk: This crate contains types only for working JWK and JWK Sets This is only meant to be used to deal with public JWK, not generate ones. Most of the code in this file is taken from https://github.com/lawliet89/biscuit but tweaked to remove the private bits as it’s not the goal for this crate currently.
jws: JSON Web Signatures data type.

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.
EncodingKey: 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.
Header: A basic JWT header, the alg defaults to HS256 and typ is automatically set to JWT. All the other fields are optional.
TokenData: The return type of a successful call to decode.
Validation: Contains the various validations that are applied after decoding a JWT.

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.
get_current_timestamp: Gets the current timestamp in the format expected by JWTs.
