😄

@imorente By the way, the description of the repository is "An SWT based API for managing users and issuing SWT tokens" but it looks like this API is returning only JWT (JSON Web Tokens) so it's confusing (for me).
Maybe it would be better like this "An JWT based API for managing users and issuing JWT tokens"?

@calavera, could we update the description of the repository as @Jolg42 suggests? ☝️

What does SWT stand for in this context? Google is telling me Star Wars Trilogy, but I have a feeling that isn't the definition I'm looking for.

BTW, the incorrect description is still there. I thought SWT was a new type of token!

It took me a few minutes to figure this out: it's Simple Web Token. At this point, that's quite an uncommon word so it would be lovely to use the full name instead of acronym.

From RFC7519's Appendix C. Relationship of JWTs to Simple Web Tokens (SWTs):

Both JWTs and SWTs [SWT], at their core, enable sets of claims to be
communicated between applications. For SWTs, both the claim names
and claim values are strings. For JWTs, while claim names are
strings, claim values can be any JSON type. Both token types offer
cryptographic protection of their content: SWTs with HMAC SHA-256 and
JWTs with a choice of algorithms, including signature, MAC, and
encryption algorithms.

There is also a microsoft doc about it.
