JWT abstraction library
=======================

[](#jwt-abstraction-library)

I often have the need to let a program just call an object to encode/decode a payload, without fussing about keys, algorithms etc.

The 'coder' object can be prepared and then given to a consumer that only has to call decode/encode.

This mini interface provides that functionality and can be used for JWS, JWE and Nested Webtoken.

It need an implementation, e.g. for web-token/jwt.
