Validate JWTs in Go

An example API in Go integrated with JSON Web Token for Go to perform JWT verification and validation for API Authorization.

Run the example

Set appropriate config in api/.env

Build and run the Docker image.

docker build -t go-api . 
docker run --name go-api -p 8080:8080 go-api

NOTE: The example uses the RS256 algorithm by default. The code can be modified to support others and there's a method that implements the EdDSA algorithm that can be invoked.
