/**
 * A JWT JOSE header.
 *
 * 

This is ultimately a JSON map and any values can be added to it, but JWT JOSE standard names are provided as * type-safe getters and setters for convenience.

* *

Because this interface extends {@code Map<String, Object>}, if you would like to add your own properties, * you simply use map methods, for example:

* *
 * header.{@link Map#put(Object, Object) put}("headerParamName", "headerParamValue");
 * 
* *

Creation

* *

It is easiest to create a {@code Header} instance by calling one of the * {@link Jwts#header() JWTs.header()} factory methods.

* * @since 0.1 */ public interface Header> extends Map { /** JWT {@code Type} (typ) value: "JWT" */ public static final String JWT_TYPE = "JWT"; /** JWT {@code Type} header parameter name: "typ" */ public static final String TYPE = "typ"; /** JWT {@code Content Type} header parameter name: "cty" */ public static final String CONTENT_TYPE = "cty"; /** JWT {@code Compression Algorithm} header parameter name: "zip" */ public static final String COMPRESSION_ALGORITHM = "zip"; /** JJWT legacy/deprecated compression algorithm header parameter name: "calg" * @deprecated use {@link #COMPRESSION_ALGORITHM} instead. */ @Deprecated public static final String DEPRECATED_COMPRESSION_ALGORITHM = "calg"; /** * Returns the * typ (type) header value or {@code null} if not present. * * @return the {@code typ} header value or {@code null} if not present. */ String getType(); /** * Sets the JWT * typ (Type) header value. A {@code null} value will remove the property from the JSON map. * * @param typ the JWT JOSE {@code typ} header value or {@code null} to remove the property from the JSON map. * @return the {@code Header} instance for method chaining. */ T setType(String typ); /** * Returns the * cty (Content Type) header value or {@code null} if not present. * *

In the normal case where nested signing or encryption operations are not employed (i.e. a compact * serialization JWT), the use of this header parameter is NOT RECOMMENDED. In the case that nested * signing or encryption is employed, this Header Parameter MUST be present; in this case, the value MUST be * {@code JWT}, to indicate that a Nested JWT is carried in this JWT. While media type names are not * case-sensitive, it is RECOMMENDED that {@code JWT} always be spelled using uppercase characters for * compatibility with legacy implementations. See * JWT Appendix A.2 for * an example of a Nested JWT.

* * @return the {@code typ} header parameter value or {@code null} if not present. */ String getContentType(); /** * Sets the JWT * cty (Content Type) header parameter value. A {@code null} value will remove the property from * the JSON map. * *

A {@code null} value will remove * the property from the JSON map. * *

The compression algorithm is NOT part of the JWT specification * and must be used carefully since, is not expected that other libraries (including previous versions of this one) * be able to deserialize a compressed JTW body correctly.

* * @param zip the JWT compression algorithm {@code zip} value or {@code null} to remove the property from the JSON map. * @return the {@code Header} instance for method chaining. * @since 0.6.0 */ T setCompressionAlgorithm(String zip); }
