`jwt` command-line tool
=======================
This is a simple tool to sign, verify and show JSON Web Tokens from
the command line.
The following will create and sign a token, then verify it and output the original claims:
echo {\"foo\":\"bar\"} | ./jwt -key ../../test/sample_key -alg RS256 -sign - | ./jwt -key ../../test/sample_key.pub -alg RS256 -verify -
Key files should be in PEM format. Other formats are not supported by this tool.
To simply display a token, use:
echo $JWT | ./jwt -show -
You can install this tool with the following command:
go install github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go/cmd/jwt
