README
jwt-go
A go (or 'golang' for search engine friendliness) implementation of JSON Web Tokens.
Starting with v4.0.0
this project adds Go module support, but maintains backward compatibility with
older v3.x.y tags and upstream github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go. See the
MIGRATION_GUIDE.md for more information. Version
v5.0.0 introduces major improvements to the validation of tokens, but is not
entirely backward compatible.
After the original author of the library suggested migrating the maintenance of
jwt-go, a dedicated team of open source maintainers decided to clone the existing library into this repository. See dgrijalva/jwt-go#462 for a detailed discussion on this topic.
SECURITY NOTICE: Some older versions of Go have a security issue in the crypto/elliptic. The recommendation is to upgrade to at least 1.15 See issue dgrijalva/jwt-go#216 for more detail.
