This section provides practical, copy-paste ready examples for common JWT operations. Each example is self-contained and can be run as-is after installing the library.
composerrequireweb-token/jwt-library
These examples use the standalone PHP API (no framework). If you use Symfony, refer to the Symfony Bundle section for a more integrated approach.
Available Examples
Signed Tokens (JWS) — Create and verify signed JWTs using HMAC, RSA, and Elliptic Curve algorithms.
Encrypted Tokens (JWE) — Encrypt and decrypt JWTs using RSA-OAEP, ECDH-ES, and password-based encryption.
Claim and Header Validation — Validate token claims (exp, iss, aud, etc.) and headers after signature verification or decryption.
