Slim JWT Auth
A PSR-7 and PSR-15 compatible middleware for JWT authentication in PHP applications.
What is Slim JWT Auth?
tuupola/slim-jwt-auth is a PHP middleware that handles JSON Web Token authentication for applications using PSR-7 and PSR-15 standards. It validates JWT tokens from HTTP headers or cookies, enabling secure API access without implementing a full authentication server. It solves the problem of adding standardized, framework-agnostic JWT protection to PHP web services.
PHP developers building RESTful APIs or web applications with frameworks like Slim or Zend Expressive that need JWT-based authentication middleware.
Developers choose this middleware for its strict adherence to PSR standards, making it interoperable across frameworks, and its focused design that handles only token validation—keeping it lightweight and flexible for integration into existing authentication flows.
