This is a drop in replacement for the auth0 java-jwt library (see https://github.com/auth0/java-jwt). This jar makes sure there are no external dependencies (e.g. fasterXml, Apacha Commons) needed. This is useful when deploying to an application server (e.g. tomcat with Alfreso or Pega).

The newest version!

 * Interface that can be implemented by objects that know how to

 * closely to Jackson API, and that it is often not necessary to do
 * so -- if class is a bean, it can be serialized without
 * implementing this interface.
 *

 * Note that while it is possible to just directly implement {@link JsonSerializable},
 * actual implementations are strongly recommended to instead extend
 * {@link JsonSerializable.Base}.

     * Double and Boolean) never include type information.
