var MarshalSingleStringAsArray = true

MarshalSingleStringAsArray modifies the behavior of the ClaimStrings type, especially its MarshalJSON function. If it is set to true (the default), it will always serialize the type as an array of strings, even if it just contains one element, defaulting to the behavior of the underlying []string. If it is set to false, it will serialize to a single string, if it contains one element. Otherwise, it will serialize to an array of strings.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/types.go:28

var NoneSignatureTypeDisallowedError error

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/none.go:9

var SigningMethodNone *signingMethodNone

SigningMethodNone implements the none signing method. This is required by the spec but you probably should never use it.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/none.go:5

var TimePrecision = time.Second

TimePrecision sets the precision of times and dates within this library. This has an influence on the precision of times when comparing expiry or other related time fields. Furthermore, it is also the precision of times when serializing. For backwards compatibility the default precision is set to seconds, so that no fractional timestamps are generated.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/types.go:18

Functions

func GetAlgorithms() []string

GetAlgorithms returns a list of registered "alg" names

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/signing_method.go:41

func GetSigningMethod(alg string) SigningMethod

GetSigningMethod retrieves a signing method from an "alg" string

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/signing_method.go:30

func New(method SigningMethod, opts ...TokenOption) *Token

New creates a new [Token] with the specified signing method and an empty map of claims. Additional options can be specified, but are currently unused.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/token.go:41

func NewNumericDate(t time.Time) *NumericDate

NewNumericDate constructs a new *NumericDate from a standard library time.Time struct. It will truncate the timestamp according to the precision specified in TimePrecision.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/types.go:38

func NewParser(options ...ParserOption) *Parser

NewParser creates a new Parser with the specified options

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/parser.go:31

func NewValidator(opts ...ParserOption) *Validator

NewValidator can be used to create a stand-alone validator with the supplied options. This validator can then be used to validate already parsed claims. Note: Under normal circumstances, explicitly creating a validator is not needed and can potentially be dangerous; instead functions of the [Parser] class should be used. The [Validator] is only checking the *validity* of the claims, such as its expiration time, but it does NOT perform *signature verification* of the token.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/validator.go:84

func NewWithClaims(method SigningMethod, claims Claims, opts ...TokenOption) *Token

NewWithClaims creates a new [Token] with the specified signing method and claims. Additional options can be specified, but are currently unused.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/token.go:47

func Parse(tokenString string, keyFunc Keyfunc, options ...ParserOption) (*Token, error)

Parse parses, validates, verifies the signature and returns the parsed token. keyFunc will receive the parsed token and should return the cryptographic key for verifying the signature. The caller is strongly encouraged to set the WithValidMethods option to validate the 'alg' claim in the token matches the expected algorithm. For more details about the importance of validating the 'alg' claim, see https://auth0.com/blog/critical-vulnerabilities-in-json-web-token-libraries/

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/parser.go:257

func ParseECPrivateKeyFromPEM(key []byte) (*ecdsa.PrivateKey, error)

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/ecdsa_utils.go:16

func ParseECPublicKeyFromPEM(key []byte) (*ecdsa.PublicKey, error)

ParseECPublicKeyFromPEM parses a PEM encoded PKCS1 or PKCS8 public key

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/ecdsa_utils.go:43

func ParseEdPrivateKeyFromPEM(key []byte) (crypto.PrivateKey, error)

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/ed25519_utils.go:17

func ParseEdPublicKeyFromPEM(key []byte) (crypto.PublicKey, error)

ParseEdPublicKeyFromPEM parses a PEM-encoded Edwards curve public key

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/ed25519_utils.go:42

func ParseRSAPrivateKeyFromPEM(key []byte) (*rsa.PrivateKey, error)

ParseRSAPrivateKeyFromPEM parses a PEM encoded PKCS1 or PKCS8 private key

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/rsa_utils.go:17

func ParseRSAPrivateKeyFromPEMWithPassword(key []byte, password string) (*rsa.PrivateKey, error)

ParseRSAPrivateKeyFromPEMWithPassword parses a PEM encoded PKCS1 or PKCS8 private key protected with password Deprecated: This function is deprecated and should not be used anymore. It uses the deprecated x509.DecryptPEMBlock function, which was deprecated since RFC 1423 is regarded insecure by design. Unfortunately, there is no alternative in the Go standard library for now. See https://github.com/golang/go/issues/8860.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/rsa_utils.go:47

func ParseRSAPublicKeyFromPEM(key []byte) (*rsa.PublicKey, error)

ParseRSAPublicKeyFromPEM parses a certificate or a PEM encoded PKCS1 or PKIX public key

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/rsa_utils.go:79

func ParseWithClaims(tokenString string, claims Claims, keyFunc Keyfunc, options ...ParserOption) (*Token, error)

ParseWithClaims is a shortcut for NewParser().ParseWithClaims(). Note: If you provide a custom claim implementation that embeds one of the standard claims (such as RegisteredClaims), make sure that a) you either embed a non-pointer version of the claims or b) if you are using a pointer, allocate the proper memory for it before passing in the overall claims, otherwise you might run into a panic.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/parser.go:268

func RegisterSigningMethod(alg string, f func(...))

RegisterSigningMethod registers the "alg" name and a factory function for signing method. This is typically done during init() in the method's implementation

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/signing_method.go:22

func WithAllAudiences(aud ...string) ParserOption

WithAllAudiences configures the validator to require all the specified audiences in the `aud` claim. Validation will fail if the specified audiences are not listed in the token or the `aud` claim is missing. Duplicates within the list are de-duplicated since internally, we use a map to look up the audiences. NOTE: While the `aud` claim is OPTIONAL in a JWT, the handling of it is application-specific. Since this validation API is helping developers in writing secure application, we decided to...

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/parser_option.go:99

func WithAudience(aud ...string) ParserOption

WithAudience configures the validator to require any of the specified audiences in the `aud` claim. Validation will fail if the audience is not listed in the token or the `aud` claim is missing. NOTE: While the `aud` claim is OPTIONAL in a JWT, the handling of it is application-specific. Since this validation API is helping developers in writing secure application, we decided to REQUIRE the existence of the claim, if an audience is expected.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/parser_option.go:83

func WithExpirationRequired() ParserOption

WithExpirationRequired returns the ParserOption to make exp claim required. By default exp claim is optional.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/parser_option.go:61

func WithIssuedAt() ParserOption

WithIssuedAt returns the ParserOption to enable verification of issued-at.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/parser_option.go:53

func WithIssuer(iss string) ParserOption

WithIssuer configures the validator to require the specified issuer in the `iss` claim. Validation will fail if a different issuer is specified in the token or the `iss` claim is missing. NOTE: While the `iss` claim is OPTIONAL in a JWT, the handling of it is application-specific. Since this validation API is helping developers in writing secure application, we decided to REQUIRE the existence of the claim, if an issuer is expected.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/parser_option.go:114

func WithJSONNumber() ParserOption

WithJSONNumber is an option to configure the underlying JSON parser with UseNumber.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/parser_option.go:21

func WithLeeway(leeway time.Duration) ParserOption

WithLeeway returns the ParserOption for specifying the leeway window.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/parser_option.go:36

func WithNotBeforeRequired() ParserOption

WithNotBeforeRequired returns the ParserOption to make nbf claim required. By default nbf claim is optional.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/parser_option.go:69

func WithoutClaimsValidation() ParserOption

WithoutClaimsValidation is an option to disable claims validation. This option should only be used if you exactly know what you are doing.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/parser_option.go:29

func WithPaddingAllowed() ParserOption

WithPaddingAllowed will enable the codec used for decoding JWTs to allow padding. Note that the JWS RFC7515 states that the tokens will utilize a Base64url encoding with no padding. Unfortunately, some implementations of JWT are producing non-standard tokens, and thus require support for decoding.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/parser_option.go:138

func WithStrictDecoding() ParserOption

WithStrictDecoding will switch the codec used for decoding JWTs into strict mode. In this mode, the decoder requires that trailing padding bits are zero, as described in RFC 4648 section 3.5.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/parser_option.go:147

func WithSubject(sub string) ParserOption

WithSubject configures the validator to require the specified subject in the `sub` claim. Validation will fail if a different subject is specified in the token or the `sub` claim is missing. NOTE: While the `sub` claim is OPTIONAL in a JWT, the handling of it is application-specific. Since this validation API is helping developers in writing secure application, we decided to REQUIRE the existence of the claim, if a subject is expected.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/parser_option.go:128

func WithTimeFunc(f func(...)) ParserOption

WithTimeFunc returns the ParserOption for specifying the time func. The primary use-case for this is testing. If you are looking for a way to account for clock-skew, WithLeeway should be used instead.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/parser_option.go:45

func WithValidMethods(methods []string) ParserOption

WithValidMethods is an option to supply algorithm methods that the parser will check. Only those methods will be considered valid. It is heavily encouraged to use this option in order to prevent attacks such as https://auth0.com/blog/critical-vulnerabilities-in-json-web-token-libraries/.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/parser_option.go:13

Claims represent any form of a JWT Claims Set according to https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7519#section-4. In order to have a common basis for validation, it is required that an implementation is able to supply at least the claim names provided in https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7519#section-4.1 namely `exp`, `iat`, `nbf`, `iss`, `sub` and `aud`.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/claims.go:9

type ClaimStrings []string

ClaimStrings is basically just a slice of strings, but it can be either serialized from a string array or just a string. This type is necessary, since the "aud" claim can either be a single string or an array.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/validator.go:26

type Keyfunc func(*Token) (any, error)

Keyfunc will be used by the Parse methods as a callback function to supply the key for verification. The function receives the parsed, but unverified Token. This allows you to use properties in the Header of the token (such as `kid`) to identify which key to use. The returned any may be a single key or a VerificationKeySet containing multiple keys.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/token.go:16

type MapClaims map[string]any

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/parser.go:234

func (p *Parser) Parse(tokenString string, keyFunc Keyfunc) (*Token, error)

Parse parses, validates, verifies the signature and returns the parsed token. keyFunc will receive the parsed token and should return the key for validating.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/parser.go:46

func (p *Parser) ParseUnverified(tokenString string, claims Claims) (*Token, []string, error)

ParseUnverified parses the token but does not validate the signature. WARNING: Don't use this method unless you know what you're doing. It's only ever useful in cases where you know the signature is valid (since it has already been or will be checked elsewhere in the stack) and you want to extract values from it.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/parser.go:136

func (p *Parser) ParseWithClaims(tokenString string, claims Claims, keyFunc Keyfunc) (*Token, error)

ParseWithClaims parses, validates, and verifies like Parse, but supplies a default object implementing the Claims interface. This provides default values which can be overridden and allows a caller to use their own type, rather than the default MapClaims implementation of Claims. Note: If you provide a custom claim implementation that embeds one of the standard claims (such as RegisteredClaims), make sure that a) you either embed a non-pointer version of the claims or b) if you are using a p...

RegisteredClaims are a structured version of the JWT Claims Set, restricted to Registered Claim Names, as referenced at https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7519#section-4.1 This type can be used on its own, but then additional private and public claims embedded in the JWT will not be parsed. The typical use-case therefore is to embedded this in a user-defined claim type. See examples for how to use this with your own claim types.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/hmac.go:44

func (m *SigningMethodHMAC) Sign(signingString string, key any) ([]byte, error)

Sign implements token signing for the SigningMethod. Key must be []byte. Note it is not advised to provide a []byte which was converted from a 'human readable' string using a subset of ASCII characters. To maximize entropy, you should ideally be providing a []byte key which was produced from a cryptographically random source, e.g. crypto/rand. Additional information about this, and why we intentionally are not supporting string as a key can be found on our usage guide https://golang-jwt.gith...

func (*Token) EncodeSegment(seg []byte) string

EncodeSegment encodes a JWT specific base64url encoding with padding stripped. In the future, this function might take into account a [TokenOption]. Therefore, this function exists as a method of [Token], rather than a global function.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/token.go:100

func (t *Token) SignedString(key any) (string, error)

SignedString creates and returns a complete, signed JWT. The token is signed using the SigningMethod specified in the token. Please refer to https://golang-jwt.github.io/jwt/usage/signing_methods/#signing-methods-and-key-types for an overview of the different signing methods and their respective key types.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/token.go:63

func (t *Token) SigningString() (string, error)

SigningString generates the signing string. This is the most expensive part of the whole deal. Unless you need this for something special, just go straight for the SignedString.

type Validator struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Validator is the core of the new Validation API. It is automatically used by a [Parser] during parsing and can be modified with various parser options. The [NewValidator] function should be used to create an instance of this struct.

github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5/validator.go:36

func (v *Validator) Validate(claims Claims) error

Validate validates the given claims. It will also perform any custom validation if claims implements the [ClaimsValidator] interface. Note: It will NOT perform any *signature verification* on the token that contains the claims and expects that the [Claim] was already successfully verified.
