Overview
A simple Dart package for decoding JSON Web Tokens (JWTs), enabling easy access to payload data and verification of expiration dates. It supports parsing JWTs across multiple platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux. The package is ideal for applications requiring secure token handling, such as authentication systems or API integrations. With minimal setup via `flutter pub add jwt_decode`, developers can quickly extract claims and validate token validity.
