+JSON Web Token library for C++
+
+For the uninitiated, JSON Web Token(JWT) is a JSON based standard
+(RFC-7519) for creating assertions or access tokens that consists of
+some claims (encoded within the assertion). This assertion can be used
+in some kind of bearer authentication mechanism that the server will
+provide to clients, and the clients can make use of the provided
+assertion for accessing resources.
