# JSON Web Token for Java
This library is intended to be the easiest to use and understand library for creating JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) on the JVM, period. Most complexity is hidden behind convenient and readable Builder chaining calls. Here's an example:
This library is intended to be the easiest to use and understand library for creating JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) on the JVM, period.
## Installation
Use your favorite Maven-compatible build tool to pull the dependency (and its transitive dependencies) from Maven Central:
```xml
<dependency>
<groupId>io.jsonwebtoken</groupId>
<artifactId>jjwt</artifactId>
<version>0.1</version>
</dependency>
```
## Usage
Most complexity is hidden behind convenient and readable Builder chaining calls. Here's an example:
```java
import static io.jsonwebtoken.SignatureAlgorithm.*;
//Let's create a random signing key for testing:
Random random = new SecureRandom();
byte[] key = new byte[64];
random.nextBytes(key);
Claims claims = JWTs.claims().setIssuer("Me").setSubject("Joe");
Claims claims = Jwts.claims().setIssuer("Me").setSubject("Joe");
String jwt = JWTs.builder().setClaims(claims).signWith(SignatureAlgorithm.HS256, key).compact();
String jwt = Jwts.builder().setClaims(claims).signWith(HS256, key).compact();
```
How easy was that!?

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);
Token token = Jwts.parser().setSigningKey(key).parse(jwt);
assert token.getClaims().getSubject().equals("Joe");
```
@ -32,7 +51,7 @@ But what if signature validation failed? You can catch `SignatureException` and
```java
try {
JWTs.parser().setSigningKey(key).parse(jwt);
Jwts.parser().setSigningKey(key).parse(jwt);
//OK, we can trust this JWT
