Interface JwtDecoder

All Known Implementing Classes:

NimbusJwtDecoder, NimbusJwtDecoderJwkSupport

public interface JwtDecoder

Implementations of this interface are responsible for "decoding" a JSON Web Token (JWT) from it's compact claims representation format to a Jwt.

JWTs may be represented using the JWS Compact Serialization format for a JSON Web Signature (JWS) structure or JWE Compact Serialization format for a JSON Web Encryption (JWE) structure. Therefore, implementors are responsible for verifying a JWS and/or decrypting a JWE.
