JwtEncoder (spring-security-docs 5.6.3 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

NimbusJwtEncoder

Functional Interface:

This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.
```
@FunctionalInterface
public interface JwtEncoder
```
Implementations of this interface are responsible for encoding a JSON Web Token (JWT) to it's compact claims representation format.
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 signing a JWS and/or encrypting a JWE.
