Recently in one of my projects, there was a requirement to create JWT within the MuleSoft application and send that as an OAuth token to the backend for authentication. After doing some research, I got to know several ways to create JWT like Java code, DataWeave code, JWT sign module, etc. Java code can be complex to implement, Dataweave code does not work for the RSA algorithm and the client didn’t want to use a custom module like the JWT sign module. Finally, I got to know about the DataWeave JWT Library available in MuleSoft Exchange.
In this blog, I will be describing the process of creating JWT using the Dataweave JWT Library available in Mulesoft Exchange which supports both HMAC and RSA algorithms.
