This class represents an immutable header of a JWS (JSON Web Signature) object.
Properties
algorithm  :  String  (Read Only)
Get the value of the algorithm parameter (alg).
Constructor Summary
This class does not have a constructor, so you cannot create it directly.
Method Summary
getAlgorithm() : String
Get the value of the algorithm parameter (alg).
static parse(map : Map) : JWSHeader
Convert the given map into a JWS header.
static parseEncoded(base64encoded : String) : JWSHeader
Parse the given string as a Base64URL-encoded JWS header.
static parseJSON(json : String) : JWSHeader
Parse the given string as a JWS header.
toMap() : Map
Get a copy of these headers as a Map.
toString() : String
Get the content of the headers as a JSON String.
Method Detail
getAlgorithm
getAlgorithm() : String
Get the value of the algorithm parameter (alg).
Returns:
Algorithm parameter from this header.

parse
static parse(map : Map) : JWSHeader

The algorithm parameter (alg) is required. See JWS.verify(CertificateRef) for supported values.

Parameters:
base64encoded - Base64URL string to parse.
Returns:
JWS Header.

parseJSON
static parseJSON(json : String) : JWSHeader
Parse the given string as a JWS header.

The algorithm parameter (alg) is required. See JWS.verify(CertificateRef) for supported values.

Parameters:
json - JSON string to parse.
Returns:
JWS Header.

toMap
toMap() : Map
Get a copy of these headers as a Map.
Returns:
Copy of the JWS headers.

toString
toString() : String
