Version History
3.2.0
- Added method
ParseUnverified
to allow users to split up the tasks of parsing and validation - HMAC signing method returns
ErrInvalidKeyType
instead ofErrInvalidKey
where appropriate - Added options to
request.ParseFromRequest
, which allows for an arbitrary list of modifiers to parsing behavior. Initial set includeWithClaims
andWithParser
. Existing usage of this function will continue to work as before. - Deprecated
ParseFromRequestWithClaims
to simplify API in the future.
3.1.0
- Improvements to
jwt
command line tool - Added
SkipClaimsValidation
option toParser
- Documentation updates
3.0.0
-
Compatibility Breaking Changes: See MIGRATION_GUIDE.md for tips on updating your code
- Dropped support for
[]byte
keys when using RSA signing methods. This convenience feature could contribute to security vulnerabilities involving mismatched key types with signing methods. -
ParseFromRequest
has been moved torequest
subpackage and usage has changed - The
Claims
property onToken
is now typeClaims
instead ofmap[string]interface{}
. The default value is typeMapClaims
, which is an alias tomap[string]interface{}
. This makes it possible to use a custom type when decoding claims.
- Dropped support for
- Other Additions and Changes
- Added
Claims
interface type to allow users to decode the claims into a custom type - Added
ParseWithClaims
, which takes a third argument of typeClaims
. Use this function instead ofParse
if you have a custom type you'd like to decode into. - Dramatically improved the functionality and flexibility of
ParseFromRequest
, which is now in therequest
subpackage - Added
ParseFromRequestWithClaims
which is theFromRequest
equivalent ofParseWithClaims
- Added new interface type
Extractor
, which is used for extracting JWT strings from http requests. Used withParseFromRequest
andParseFromRequestWithClaims
. - Added several new, more specific, validation errors to error type bitmask
- Moved examples from README to executable example files
- Signing method registry is now thread safe
- Added new property to
ValidationError
, which contains the raw error returned by calls made by parse/verify (such as those returned by keyfunc or json parser)
- Added
2.7.0
This will likely be the last backwards compatible release before 3.0.0, excluding essential bug fixes.
- Added new option
-show
to thejwt
command that will just output the decoded token without verifying - Error text for expired tokens includes how long it's been expired
- Fixed incorrect error returned from
ParseRSAPublicKeyFromPEM
- Documentation updates
2.6.0
- Exposed inner error within ValidationError
- Fixed validation errors when using UseJSONNumber flag
- Added several unit tests
2.5.0
- Added support for signing method none. You shouldn't use this. The API tries to make this clear.
- Updated/fixed some documentation
- Added more helpful error message when trying to parse tokens that begin with
BEARER
2.4.0
- Added new type, Parser, to allow for configuration of various parsing parameters
- You can now specify a list of valid signing methods. Anything outside this set will be rejected.
- You can now opt to use the
json.Number
type instead offloat64
when parsing token JSON
- Added support for Travis CI
- Fixed some bugs with ECDSA parsing
2.3.0
- Added support for ECDSA signing methods
- Added support for RSA PSS signing methods (requires go v1.4)
2.2.0
- Gracefully handle a
nil
Keyfunc
being passed toParse
. Result will now be the parsed token and an error, instead of a panic.
2.1.0
Backwards compatible API change that was missed in 2.0.0.
- The
SignedString
method onToken
now takesinterface{}
instead of[]byte
2.0.0
There were two major reasons for breaking backwards compatibility with this update. The first was a refactor required to expand the width of the RSA and HMAC-SHA signing implementations. There will likely be no required code changes to support this change.
The second update, while unfortunately requiring a small change in integration, is required to open up this library to other signing methods. Not all keys used for all signing methods have a single standard on-disk representation. Requiring []byte
as the type for all keys proved too limiting. Additionally, this implementation allows for pre-parsed tokens to be reused, which might matter in an application that parses a high volume of tokens with a small set of keys. Backwards compatibilty has been maintained for passing []byte
to the RSA signing methods, but they will also accept *rsa.PublicKey
and *rsa.PrivateKey
.
It is likely the only integration change required here will be to change func(t *jwt.Token) ([]byte, error)
to func(t *jwt.Token) (interface{}, error)
when calling Parse
.
