NAME

JSON::WebToken - JSON Web Token (JWT) implementation

SYNOPSIS

  use Test::More;
  use JSON;
  use JSON::WebToken;
  my $claims = {
      iss => 'joe',
      exp => 1300819380,
      'http://example.com/is_root' => JSON::true,
  };
  my $secret = 'secret';
  my $jwt = encode_jwt $claims, $secret;
  my $got = decode_jwt $jwt, $secret;
  is_deeply $got, $claims;
  done_testing;

DESCRIPTION

JSON::WebToken is JSON Web Token (JWT) implementation for Perl

THIS MODULE IS ALPHA LEVEL INTERFACE.

METHODS

encode($claims [, $secret, $algorithm, $extra_headers ]) : String

This method is encoding JWT from hash reference.

  my $jwt = JSON::WebToken->encode({
      iss => 'joe',
      exp => 1300819380,
      'http://example.com/is_root' => JSON::true,
  }, 'secret');
  # $jwt = join '.',
  #     'eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9',
  #     'eyJleHAiOjEzMDA4MTkzODAsImh0dHA6Ly9leGFtcGxlLmNvbS9pc19yb290Ijp0cnVlLCJpc3MiOiJqb2UifQ'
  #     '4ldFxjibgJGz_uaIRCIq89b5ipR-sbI2Uq7B2WNEDs0'

Default encryption algorithm is "HS256". You can change algorithm as following:

  my $pricate_key_string = '...';
  my $public_key_string  = '...';
  my $jwt = JSON::WebToken->encode({
      iss => 'joe',
      exp => 1300819380,
      'http://example.com/is_root' => JSON::true,
  }, $pricate_key_string, 'RS256');
  my $claims = JSON::WebToken->decode($jwt, $public_key_string);

When you use RS256, RS384 or RS512 algorithm then, We need Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA.

If you want to create a "Plaintext JWT", should be specify "none" for the algorithm.

  my $jwt = JSON::WebToken->encode({
      iss => 'joe',
      exp => 1300819380,
      'http://example.com/is_root' => JSON::true,
  }, '', 'none');
  # $jwt = join '.',
  #     'eyJhbGciOiJub25lIiwidHlwIjoiSldUIn0',
  #     'eyJleHAiOjEzMDA4MTkzODAsImh0dHA6Ly9leGFtcGxlLmNvbS9pc19yb290Ijp0cnVlLCJpc3MiOiJqb2UifQ',
  #     ''

decode($jwt [, $secret, $verify_signature, $accepted_algorithms ]) : HASH

This method is decoding hash reference from JWT string.

  my $claims = JSON::WebToken->decode($jwt, $secret, 1, ["RS256"]);

Any signing algorithm (except "none") is acceptable by default, so you should check it with $accepted_algorithms parameter.

add_signing_algorithm($algorithm, $class)

This method is adding signing algorithm.

  # resolve JSON::WebToken::Crypt::MYALG
  JSON::WebToken->add_signing_algorithm('MYALGXXX'   => 'MYALG');
  # resolve Some::Class::Algorithm
  JSON::WebToken->add_signing_algorithm('SOMEALGXXX' => '+Some::Class::Algorithm');
