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.

@FunctionalInterface 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.
