- Decode a JWT:

`jwt decode {{jwt_string}}`

- Decode a JWT as a JSON string:

`jwt decode {{[-j|--json]}} {{jwt_string}}`

- Encode a JSON string to a JWT:

`jwt encode {{[-A|--alg]}} {{HS256}} {{[-S|--secret]}} {{1234567890}} '{{json_string}}'`

- Encode key pair payload to JWT:

`jwt encode {{[-A|--alg]}} {{HS256}} {{[-S|--secret]}} {{1234567890}} {{[-P|--payload]}} {{key=value}}`
