A demo application showing how to implement JWT-based authentication with Spring Security and Spring Boot 2, based on a minimal extraction of the JHipster codebase. It includes sample endpoints with role-based access control, an H2 database, and a small JavaScript client for testing.

Use cases

• learn how to secure a Spring Boot REST API with JWT
• example of JWT authentication with Spring Security
• set up token-based login endpoints in Java
• understand role-based authorization in Spring Security
• starting point for adding JWT auth to a Spring Boot app
• see how to configure Spring Security filters for tokens

When to choose

• you are learning JWT authentication in the Spring ecosystem
• you want a minimal, readable reference implementation to copy from
• you need a quick demo of role-based endpoint protection with Spring Security

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready, actively maintained security solution
• you are not using Java or the Spring framework
• you require the latest Spring Boot 3 / Spring Security 6 features
