## What it is
A Spring Boot example project demonstrating token-based authentication with Spring Security, JWT, role-based authorization, and Spring Data JPA backed by MySQL or PostgreSQL. It serves as a reference implementation and companion code for a tutorial on user registration, login, and refresh tokens.

## Use cases
- add jwt authentication to a spring boot rest api
- learn how spring security handles user login and registration
- implement role-based authorization with spring security
- example of refresh token flow in spring boot
- secure a spring boot backend with token based auth
- set up spring data jpa with mysql for user accounts

## When to choose
- you are learning Spring Security and JWT from a working example
- you want a starter template for a Spring Boot auth backend
- you need a reference for role-based access control with Spring Data JPA

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready, maintained security library
- you require a licensed artifact for commercial redistribution
- you use a stack other than Java/Spring Boot

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: auth, authorization, web-framework, orm, database
- domain: backend, web-development, security, developer-tools, tutorials
- platform: jvm, self-hosted
