A JWT CLI written in Go.

Also includes:

• A single html file web app for quickly decoding JWT tokens: available online at jwt.etelej.com
  • You can grab the html file at ./webapp - uses petite-vue

Download executable for your OS from Releases

• Works on most platforms: Windows, iOS, Linux etc

Alternative installation (with Go):

go get -u github.com/peteretelej/jwt

Decode token and print details in human readable format

• Add headers to sections
• Parse timestamps
• Provide human readable durations eg ( expires in 1yr )

./jwt TOKEN

Verify if token is signed by a secret

./jwt --secret SECRET TOKEN 

Generate JWT token

./jwt --secret demopass --sign '{"user": "John Doe"}' 

Specify an expiry period for the generated token

./jwt  --secret demopass --exp 1y --sign '{"user": "John Doe"}'

• Supports durations (eg year to second) such as yr, mo, w, d, h,m,s
• examples: --exp 6mo (6 months), --exp 2w (2 weeks)

If you don't want to paste secret as plain text in command line:

• do not specify the --secret argument, it will prompt pasting or typing secret (does not print the secret)

./jwt --sign '{"user": "Jane Doe"}'
Please enter a secret to sign the JWT (and press Enter)

./jwt --sign '{"name": "John Doe"}' --secret demopass --exp 2w
