Create JWT Using HS256, HS384, or HS512

See more JSON Web Token (JWT) Examples

Demonstrates how to create a JWT using HS256, HS384, or HS512. (HS256 is JWT's acronym for HMAC-SHA256.) When HMAC is used, the secret is a shared secret (i.e. password) that both client and server know beforehand.

This example also demonstrates how to include time constraints:

• nbf: Not Before Time
• exp: Expiration Time
• iat: Issue At Time
