A Symfony bundle that provides JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication for Symfony APIs. It handles token creation, validation, and integration with Symfony's security system.

Use cases

• add JWT authentication to a Symfony API
• issue and validate JWT tokens in PHP
• secure REST API endpoints with token auth
• create JWT tokens programmatically in Symfony
• implement stateless authentication for a Symfony app
• invalidate JWT tokens on logout

When to choose

• you are building an API with Symfony and need stateless token-based authentication
• you want a mature, well-documented JWT solution integrated with Symfony security
• you need programmatic JWT creation or custom token payload handling in Symfony

When to avoid

• your project does not use the Symfony framework
• you need session-based or OAuth authentication rather than JWT
• you are not on PHP 8.2+ or Symfony 6.4+
