  Description     : PHP library for JSON Web Tokens (JWT)

A simple library to encode and decode JSON Web Tokens (JWT) in PHP, as defined by RFC 7519.
JWTs are a compact, URL-safe means of representing claims to be transferred between two parties.
This library supports all standard JWT signing algorithms, including HMAC, RSA, and ECDSA, and is widely used for authentication and authorization in modern PHP applications.

Features:
 - Encode and decode JWT tokens
 - Support for all standard signing algorithms (HS256, RS256, ES256, etc.)
 - Actively maintained by Firebase (Google LLC) and contributors
 - Used by many open source and commercial PHP projects

This package is required as a dependency for FOSSology and other PHP software in Debian.
I intend to package and maintain this library for Debian, possibly under the Debian PHP PEAR Maintainers team, as it is a common dependency for modern PHP applications.
