You probably don't need a JWT library 2020

It's 2020. You have an idea for new webapp. The scope is small, but requires auth. You look at services like Auth0 and libraries like node-jsonwebtoken. You've probably read about the countless security bugs they've had.

It's 2020 they should have it figured out

The npm package node-jsonwebtoken is a huge library where most of the core functionality comes from a dependency of a dependency, node-jws which depends on node-jwa of the same author, and both of them are no longer maintained. If you look at the Github issues of node-jws, you can find a thread explaining how the maintainers don't have time to work on the projects anymore and reccomend using a newer project, Github user Panva's jose.

So just use jose

WebApp Rendering Strategies 2019

Client Side Rendering

Tooling: Hyperapp, Mithril, React, Vue

Pros

  • Dynamic Routing. There's no refresh when routing between pages.

Cons

  • JavaScript must be downloaded before the page can begin to render, slowing down first paint performance.[1]
