Method Detail

header

public static Header header()

Creates a new Header instance suitable for plaintext (not digitally signed) JWTs. As this is a less common use of JWTs, consider using the jwsHeader() factory method instead if you will later digitally sign the JWT.

Returns:

a new Header instance suitable for plaintext (not digitally signed) JWTs.

header

public static Header header(Map<String,Object> header)

Creates a new Header instance suitable for plaintext (not digitally signed) JWTs, populated with the specified name/value pairs. As this is a less common use of JWTs, consider using the jwsHeader(java.util.Map) factory method instead if you will later digitally sign the JWT.

Returns:

a new Header instance suitable for plaintext (not digitally signed) JWTs.

jwsHeader

public static JwsHeader jwsHeader()

Returns a new JwsHeader instance suitable for digitally signed JWTs (aka 'JWS's).

Returns:

a new JwsHeader instance suitable for digitally signed JWTs (aka 'JWS's).

JwtBuilder.setHeader(Header)

jwsHeader

public static JwsHeader jwsHeader(Map<String,Object> header)

Returns a new JwsHeader instance suitable for digitally signed JWTs (aka 'JWS's), populated with the specified name/value pairs.

Returns:

a new JwsHeader instance suitable for digitally signed JWTs (aka 'JWS's), populated with the specified name/value pairs.

JwtBuilder.setHeader(Header)

claims

public static Claims claims()

Returns a new Claims instance to be used as a JWT body.

Returns:

a new Claims instance to be used as a JWT body.

claims

public static Claims claims(Map<String,Object> claims)

Returns a new Claims instance populated with the specified name/value pairs.

Parameters:

claims - the name/value pairs to populate the new Claims instance.

Returns:

a new Claims instance populated with the specified name/value pairs.

parser

public static JwtParser parser()

Returns a new JwtParser instance that can be configured and then used to parse JWT strings.

Returns:

a new JwtParser instance that can be configured and then used to parse JWT strings.

builder

public static JwtBuilder builder()

Returns a new JwtBuilder instance that can be configured and then used to create JWT compact serialized strings.

Returns:

a new JwtBuilder instance that can be configured and then used to create JWT compact serialized strings.
