Migration Guide (v4.0.0)

Starting from v4.0.0, the import path will be:

"github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5"

The /v4 version will be backwards compatible with existing v3.x.y tags in this repo, as well as github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go. For most users this should be a drop-in replacement, if you're having troubles migrating, please open an issue.

You can replace all occurrences of github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go or github.com/golang-jwt/jwt with github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5, either manually or by using tools such as sed or gofmt.

And then you'd typically run:

go get github.com/golang-jwt/jwt/v5
go mod tidy

Older releases (before v3.2.0)
