Bun Support

[panva]

Warning

If you happen to have jose as a transitive dependency from a module which Bun resolves using its Node.js compatibility layer it is very likely it's not going to work for now. There are multiple issues at hand which the @oven-sh team is attempting to solve to get this to work seamlessly.

When and if Bun finishes its node:crypto compatibility fully it will be possible for the "bun" target in jose's package.json to be pointed to the node.js build. Doing so now only peels off a layer of errors only to immediately fail on crypto.sign, crypto.verify, crypto.diffieHellman, and possibly other, missing APIs.

jose is a universal module, but the way it is used in some projects may be runtime-specific.

Tip

If you use jose directly in your code executed in Bun, then you're all set and good.
