jwt VS jwt

We use https://github.com/golang-jwt/jwt but have needed to hack our way around it as our issuer service sends floats.

But If you don't know security....I wouldn't specifically and only because you have to know security it's self but I mostly use https://github.com/golang-jwt/jwt because I never said I was a security master but I rely on it to make sure everything is hashed and no holes are in my code because this specifically relates to security and not with building out a service. There is a monumental difference.

There is a special type NumericDate (https://github.com/cristalhq/jwt/blob/main/numeric_date.go) to handle this, however if you have an example where it doesn't work with golang-jwt/jwt please share it, will be happy to add a test for this (or even a fix if something is wrong :( )

Authentication is one of the most important part of almost every web application. We must ensure that every user can create, read, update and delete only data for which it's authorized. For that purpose we will use JWT (JSON Web Token). Fortunately, there are various Golang modules specialized for this. One that will be used in this guide can be found in this GitHub repo. Current latest version is v3 which can ne installed by running go get github.com/cristalhq/jwt/v3.
