### Installation

```bash

$ pip install jsontokens

```

### Importing

```python

>>> from jsontokens import TokenSigner, TokenVerifier, decode_token

```

### Signing Tokens

```python

>>> token_signer = TokenSigner()

>>> payload = {"issuedAt": "1440713414.19"}

>>> token = token_signer.sign(payload, 'a5c61c6ca7b3e7e55edee68566aeab22e4da26baa285c7bd10e8d2218aa3b22901')

>>> print token

eyJhbGciOiJFUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpc3N1ZWRBdCI6IjE0NDA3MTM0MTQuMTkifQ.7UpSjte-bbk0CsBgC3AJyogLKu6SGzyigFgo2qZeUN6zKHaQsBlz_pFwHkPGLmiz4yvOd5gfWu8R2BwFX55okQ

```

### Decoding Tokens

```python

>>> decoded_token = decode_token(token)

>>> import json

>>> print json.dumps(decoded_token, indent=2)

{

  "header": {

    "alg": "ES256", 

    "typ": "JWT"

  }, 

  "payload": {

    "issuedAt": "1440713414.19"

  }, 

  "signature": "7UpSjte-bbk0CsBgC3AJyogLKu6SGzyigFgo2qZeUN6zKHaQsBlz_pFwHkPGLmiz4yvOd5gfWu8R2BwFX55okQ"

}

```

### Verifying Tokens

```python

>>> token_verifier = TokenVerifier()

>>> token_is_valid = token_verifier.verify(token, '027d28f9951ce46538951e3697c62588a87f1f1f295de4a14fdd4c780fc52cfe69')

>>> print token_is_valid

True

```
