JWT (@trust/jwt)

JSON Web Token for JavaScript

TODO: Update this

The JOSE suite of specifications standardizes various mechanisms required for integrity protection and encryption of data structured and serialized as JSON.

This package implements JWT, JWD, JWS and JWE for use in JavaScript applications.

Underlying cryptography is provided by W3C Web Cryptography API, available natively in browsers and via npm in Node.js. Additionally, JSON Schema is used for object initialization and validation with JWT and JWD.

new JWT()

(static) decode(token) → {JWT}

(static) encode(…data) → {Promise.<SerializedToken>}

(static) from(data) → {JWT}

(static) fromCompact(data) → {JWT}

(static) fromFlattened(data) → {JWT}

(static) fromGeneral(data) → {JWT}

(static) sign() → {Promise.<SerializedToken>}

(static) verify(…data) → {Promise.<JWT>}

encode(…data) → {Promise.<SerializedToken>}

isJWE()

resolveKeys()

serialize() → {SerializedToken}

sign(…data) → {Promise.<SerializedToken>}

toCompact()
