Documentation

Overview

The package provides a way to create compact JWTs, "zJWT".

zJWTs for JWT with a large payload can be 1/3 the size of the original. This is achieved by gzipping the payload before base 64 encoding it.

zJWTs are only compact if they are smaller than the original JWTs. as long as they are smaller than the zJWT representation.

To help differentiate, zJWTs start with "zJWT/v1:"
