# Claim

> JWTs represent a set of claims as a JSON object that is encoded in a
> JWS and/or JWE structure.  This JSON object is the JWT Claims Set.
> As per Section 4 of RFC 7159 [RFC7159], the JSON object consists of
> zero or more name/value pairs (or members), where the names are
> strings and the values are arbitrary JSON values.  These members are
> the claims represented by the JWT.
>
> - from [RFC 7519: JSON Web Token (JWT)](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519#section-3)

ActiveForum::Claim is a library inspired by the
[Warden authentication framework](https://github.com/wardencommunity/warden)
that validates the JWT and provides an easy way to authenticate and authorize
the user or connected application.
