[FIXED] JWT differences between jose4j and jjwt dependencies in Spring

Issue

can anyone spot the difference between using jose4j from bitbucket or jjwt from jsonwebtoken to provide authentication in my app. I've been requested to implement the security and I have no idea which one to choose.

There's a lot of info about jjwt but bearely any of jose4j.

Thanks in advance!

Solution

They are just different implementations of the same thing. Currently JWT does not support JWE, but JOSE4j does. So I think you can choose according to your needs.
