A Go library implementing the JOSE standards (JWE, JWS, JWT) for JSON-based signing and encryption. This Square repository is deprecated and archived; development continues at go-jose/go-jose.

Use cases

  • sign and verify JWTs in Go
  • encrypt payloads with JWE
  • validate JSON web tokens from OAuth providers
  • implement JWS signatures for API requests
  • migrate from square/go-jose to go-jose/go-jose

When to choose

  • you are maintaining legacy code already pinned to square/go-jose v1/v2

When to avoid

  • starting any new Go project needing JOSE/JWT support
  • you need security fixes or updates
  • you want maintained software
