## Usage
Most complexity is hidden behind convenient and readable Builder chaining calls. Here's an example:

Now let's verify the JWT (you should always discard JWTs that don't match an expected signature):
```java
Token token = Jwts.parser().setSigningKey(key).parse(jwt);
Jwt jwt = Jwts.parser().setSigningKey(key).parse(compactJwt);
assert token.getClaims().getSubject().equals("Joe");
assert jwt.getClaims().getSubject().equals("Joe");

#### Already using an older Jackson dependency?
JJWT depends on Jackson 2.4.x (or later). If you are already using a Jackson version in your own application less than 2.x, for example 1.9.x, you will likely see [runtime errors](https://github.com/jwtk/jjwt/issues/1). To avoid this, you should change your project build configuration to explicitly point to a 2.x version of Jackson. For example:
```xml
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
<version>2.4.2</version>
</dependency>
```
