Create a new JWT and get the token:

    payload: (object) ['foo' => 'bar'],
    secret: 'abc',
);

echo $jwt->getToken();

```

Validate a JWT:

$jwt = new JwtPhp(
    token: 123.abc.123,
    secret: 'foo',
);

echo $jwt->isValid() ? 'this is valid' : 'this is NOT valid';

```

Update a supported (reserved) claim:

```
$jwt = new JwtPhp(
    token: 123.abc.123,
    secret: 'foo',
);

$jwt->setExpiration(123);
$jwt->setSupportedClaim('exp', 123);

```

```
$jwt = new JwtPhp(
    token: 123.abc.123,
    secret: 'foo',
);

$jwt->setClaim('funnyClaim', 'hello world');

```
