SimpleJwt - A Lightweight Alternative to JJWT for Simple JWT Needs

SimpleJwt is a minimalistic library for creating, verifying, and decoding JSON Web Tokens (JWT) in Java, specifically using the HS256 (HMAC-SHA256) algorithm. If you find JJWT or other JWT libraries overly complex for your needs, SimpleJwt provides a straightforward solution for essential JWT functionality. This project is ideal for developers who need a simple way to manage JWTs in Java without any extra dependencies.

Features

• Lightweight: Avoids the complexity of larger libraries like JJWT.
• Essential Functionality: Supports token creation, verification, and payload decoding with HS256, a widely-used symmetric signing algorithm.
• Ease of Use: Simple, easy-to-use methods for handling JWTs.

Usage

Generate JWT

SimpleJwt.JwtBuilder jwtBuilder = new SimpleJwt.JwtBuilder();
String jwt = jwtBuilder.generateJwt("myemail@gmail.com", "thisismyverylongkey", 1000); // time in seconds

Verify and get payload

SimpleJwt.JwtParser jwtParser = new SimpleJwt.JwtParser();
jwtParser.verifyToken(jwt, "thisismyverylongkey")
jwtParser.getPayload(jwt)
