## What it is
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
- add jwt authentication to a gin api
- 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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: auth, middleware, security
- domain: web-development, backend, security, apis
- platform: go, cli
- tags: jwt, gin, authentication, token-refresh, oauth, golang, web-server
