A Go library for creating, signing, parsing, and verifying JSON Web Tokens (JWTs), supporting HMAC, RSA, RSA-PSS, and ECDSA signing algorithms. The repository is archived and no longer maintained; development continues in the golang-jwt/jwt fork.
Use cases
- sign and verify JWTs in a Go application
- issue bearer tokens for OAuth2 authentication
- parse and validate JWT claims from HTTP requests
- implement token-based auth for a Go API
- add custom signing methods to JWT handling
When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy codebase already pinned to dgrijalva/jwt-go
- you need a reference implementation of the original JWT library
When to avoid
- you are starting a new Go project - use golang-jwt/jwt instead
- you need security fixes or ongoing maintenance
- you need Ed25519 or newer JWT features
