# JSONWebToken for Pharo

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/noha/JSONWebToken.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/noha/JSONWebToken)

## Overview

Implementation of a JSON web token following [RFC 7519](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519) for [Pharo](http://www.pharo.org).

## Installation

For pharo9 and above use

```Smalltalk
Metacello new
      baseline:'JSONWebToken';
      repository: 'github://noha/JSONWebToken/source';
      load
```

## Usage

The class *JSONWebTokenTest* demonstrates how to encode/serialize a web signature to a token string using compact base 64 notation 
as well as deserialization:

```Smalltalk
testRoundtrip
	| jws tokenString materialized |
	
	jws := JsonWebSignature new
		algorithmName: 'HS256';
		payload: (JWTClaimsSet new
			at: 'bar' put: 'foo').
	jws key: 'foobar'.
	
	tokenString := jws compactSerialized.
	materialized := JsonWebSignature materializeCompact: tokenString key: 'foobar'.
	self assert: jws equals: materialized

```
