A JWT authentication middleware for the Gin web framework in Go, built on golang-jwt/jwt. It provides login handling, token refresh, and role-based authorization with configurable parsing options.

Use cases

• implement login and token refresh in go
• protect gin routes with role-based authorization
• support multiple jwt providers in one middleware
• integrate oauth sso with gin
• store jwt tokens in redis for revocation

When to choose

• you use the Gin framework and need JWT auth
• you want battle-tested middleware with active maintenance
• you need flexible claims validation and multi-provider support

When to avoid

• you use a framework other than Gin
• you need a full identity provider or user management system
• your app is not in Go
