Interface JwtDecoder
- All Known Implementing Classes:
NimbusJwtDecoder
,NimbusJwtDecoderJwkSupport
,SupplierJwtDecoder
- Functional Interface:
- This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.
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.
