Adoption guide

Resource APIs that need standards-based token validation and policy-driven authorization.

Security guide

Why it appears in the guide: JWT bearer authentication middleware for validating access tokens in ASP.NET Core APIs. Trade-off: You still need robust issuer configuration, key rollover handling and defense-in-depth authorization rules.

Compatibility metadata lists 1 target framework; confirm the exact target used by your application.

How to read this guidance

Sources: published NuGet v3 registry metadata and explicit NuBrowse editorial guides. Refresh: package metadata is refreshed from NuGet when the page loads. Limit: this is not a security, legal or compatibility guarantee; validate the selected version in your project.
