What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-29, confidence not recorded
A Java library for creating and verifying JSON Web Tokens (JWT) per RFC 7519, supporting HMAC, RSA, and ECDSA signing algorithms. It is maintained by Auth0 and intended for server-side JVM applications.
Use cases
- sign and verify JWTs in a Java application
- issue access tokens for a REST API
- validate bearer tokens in a Spring backend
- implement stateless authentication with HS256 or RS256
- decode and inspect JWT claims in JVM code
When to choose
- you need a mature, well-maintained JWT library for server-side Java or Kotlin
- you need broad algorithm support including RSASSA-PSS and ECDSA
- you want an MIT-licensed library available on Maven Central
When to avoid
- you are building an Android app (use JWTDecode.Android instead)
- you need ES256K (secp256k1) support, which has been dropped
- you need full JOSE/JWE encryption rather than just JWS signing
