# jwt-reader

This is a minimal program to enable reading the contents of a JWT at the shell.

It does not attempt to verify JWTs (because it doesn't know anything about the certs).

## Installing

To make it available locally, just do something like:

- Clone this repo

- Enter the root directory where this repo lives

- `npm install -g .`

You'll then have a shell command `jwt-reader` available in your shell.

## Using

```{sh}

$ jwt-reader

This tool will decode a JSON web token so you can see the contents.

NOTE: It does NOT verify the token.

Enter the token to decode:

{

    ... parsed token payload

}

```

You can include headers and signature by using the optional CLI argument `-c` or `--complete`.
