encode($claims [, $secret, $algorithm, $extra_headers ]) : String¶

This method is encoding JWT from hash reference.

  my $jwt = JSON::WebToken->encode({
      iss => 'joe',
      exp => 1300819380,
      'http://example.com/is_root' => JSON::true,
  }, 'secret');
  # $jwt = join '.',
  #     'eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9',
  #     'eyJleHAiOjEzMDA4MTkzODAsImh0dHA6Ly9leGFtcGxlLmNvbS9pc19yb290Ijp0cnVlLCJpc3MiOiJqb2UifQ'
  #     '4ldFxjibgJGz_uaIRCIq89b5ipR-sbI2Uq7B2WNEDs0'

Default encryption algorithm is "HS256". You can change algorithm as following:

  my $pricate_key_string = '...';
  my $public_key_string  = '...';
  my $jwt = JSON::WebToken->encode({
      iss => 'joe',
      exp => 1300819380,
      'http://example.com/is_root' => JSON::true,
  }, $pricate_key_string, 'RS256');
  my $claims = JSON::WebToken->decode($jwt, $public_key_string);

When you use RS256, RS384 or RS512 algorithm then, We need Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA.

If you want to create a "Plaintext JWT", should be specify "none" for the algorithm.

  my $jwt = JSON::WebToken->encode({
      iss => 'joe',
      exp => 1300819380,
      'http://example.com/is_root' => JSON::true,
  }, '', 'none');
  # $jwt = join '.',
  #     'eyJhbGciOiJub25lIiwidHlwIjoiSldUIn0',
  #     'eyJleHAiOjEzMDA4MTkzODAsImh0dHA6Ly9leGFtcGxlLmNvbS9pc19yb290Ijp0cnVlLCJpc3MiOiJqb2UifQ',
  #     ''

decode($jwt [, $secret, $verify_signature, $accepted_algorithms ]) : HASH¶

This method is decoding hash reference from JWT string.

  my $claims = JSON::WebToken->decode($jwt, $secret, 1, ["RS256"]);

Any signing algorithm (except "none") is acceptable by default, so you should check it with $accepted_algorithms parameter.

add_signing_algorithm($algorithm, $class)¶

This method is adding signing algorithm.

  # resolve JSON::WebToken::Crypt::MYALG
  JSON::WebToken->add_signing_algorithm('MYALGXXX'   => 'MYALG');
  # resolve Some::Class::Algorithm
  JSON::WebToken->add_signing_algorithm('SOMEALGXXX' => '+Some::Class::Algorithm');

SEE ALSO JSON::WebToken::Crypt::HMAC or JSON::WebToken::Crypt::RAS.

encode_jwt($claims [, $secret, $algorithm, $extra_headers ]) : String¶

Same as encode() method.

decode_jwt($jwt [, $secret, $verify_signature, $accepted_algorithms ]) : Hash¶

Same as decode() method.

ERROR_JWT_INVALID_PARAMETER¶

When some method arguments are not valid.

ERROR_JWT_MISSING_SECRET¶

When secret is required. ("alg != "none"")

ERROR_JWT_INVALID_SEGMENT_COUNT¶

When JWT segment count is not between 2 and 4.

ERROR_JWT_INVALID_SEGMENT_ENCODING¶

When each JWT segment is not encoded by base64url.

ERROR_JWT_UNWANTED_SIGNATURE¶

When "alg == "none"" but signature segment found.

ERROR_JWT_INVALID_SIGNATURE¶

When JWT signature is invalid.

ERROR_JWT_NOT_SUPPORTED_SIGNING_ALGORITHM¶

When given signing algorithm is not supported.

ERROR_JWT_UNACCEPTABLE_ALGORITHM¶

When given signing algorithm is not included in acceptable_algorithms.
