Java JWT
Java implementation of JSON Web Token (JWT)
A Java implementation of JSON Web Token (JWT) - RFC 7519. This library requires Java 8 or higher. The last version that supported Java 7 was 3.11.0. The library implements JWT Verification and Signing using several algorithms. The Algorithm defines how a token is signed and verified. It can be instantiated with the raw value of the secret in the case of HMAC algorithms, or the key pairs or KeyProvider in the case of RSA and ECDSA algorithms. Once created, the instance is reusable for token signing and verification operations. When using RSA or ECDSA algorithms and you just need to sign JWTs you can avoid specifying a Public Key by passing a null value. The same can be done with the Private Key when you just need to verify JWTs. -

Getting Started With Open Source Web Services Software
- Getting started with using open source web services software is a relatively straightforward process. First, it's important to understand what kind of software you need and the skill level you have with coding. If you are not familiar with programming languages such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript, then there are many user-friendly options available for those just getting started.
- Once you determine which type of open source software is best for your needs, the next step is to find an appropriate download or online resource from which to obtain it. Fortunately, there are dozens of excellent sources available online that offer free downloads of these types of products. When searching for a package, check how long ago it was updated and read any reviews or comments on its reliability and performance.
- Next, install the chosen software onto your computer’s operating system (Windows/MacOS). This typically involves running the installation file provided by the provider’s website upon downloading it. Once completed, launch the program to begin using its features – this is usually done through clicking on an icon located in either your applications folder or desktop shortcut (both depending on OS).
- At this point some setups may require further customization before being used in full capacity such as configuring settings related to security protocols (SSL certificate) and other APIs used within hosted applications if needed. Additional plugins/extensions related to specific features may also be able to be installed should they not already exist within the product itself - something again worth researching beforehand if required.
- Finally once setup is complete users can start testing their application(s) or website interface by navigating between pages (or making changes) to learn more about how everything works along setting up databases when necessary via user accounts integration into an online ecosystem - something often handled through MySQL solutions as part of backend architecture management techniques employed within hosted platforms such as WordPress or Drupal among others respectively.
