@carbonteq/jwt v0.4.0

Faster JWT (rust bindings) with an (optional) LRU cache

Benchmarks

Benchmarks were performed using benchmark package, against jsonwebtoken, jose and fast-jwt. It was not done to cast shadow over those packages, merely to check whether this package is performant enough or not.

Machine Details:

• OS: Ubuntu 22.04
• Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz - Threads: 6 * 2
• Memory: 16G

DISCLAIMER: Always take benchmarks like this with a grain of salt, as they may not always be indicative of good performance. And performance may not be the top thing to consider when choosing a package for solving your problem (unless the problem is that of performance itself). It would be best to perform these benchmarks on your own machine/deployment environment before making any decision.
