A Rust library for creating and decoding JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) in a strongly typed way, supporting HS256/384/512, RS256/384/512, PS256/384/512, ES256/384, and EdDSA algorithms. It offers pluggable crypto backends (aws_lc_rs or rust_crypto) and claim validation with serde-based typed claims.

Use cases

  • issue and verify JWTs in a Rust web API
  • sign tokens with HS256 or RS256 in Rust
  • validate JWT expiration and claims
  • decode JWTs into typed structs with serde
  • support EdDSA and ES256 token signing in Rust

When to choose

  • you need a mature, widely used JWT library in Rust with strong typing
  • you need broad algorithm coverage including EdDSA and RSA-PSS
  • you want pluggable crypto providers or custom JWT headers

When to avoid

  • you need a full auth server or session management, not just token encoding/decoding
  • your project is not in Rust
