Decode a JWT:

jwt decode {{jwt_string}}

Decode a JWT as a JSON string:

jwt decode {{[-j|--json]}} {{jwt_string}}

Encode a JSON string to a JWT:

jwt encode {{[-A|--alg]}} {{HS256}} {{[-S|--secret]}} {{1234567890}} '{{json_string}}'

Encode key pair payload to JWT:

jwt encode {{[-A|--alg]}} {{HS256}} {{[-S|--secret]}} {{1234567890}} {{[-P|--payload]}} {{key=value}}
