How to decode JWT (header and body) in java using Apache Commons codec?

Question

I am looking for decoding the following JWTusing Apache Commons Codec. How can we do this?

    eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ0ZXN0Iiwicm9sZXMiOiJST0xFX0FETUlOIiwiaXNzIjoibXlzZ
WxmIiwiZXhwIjoxNDcxMDg2MzgxfQ.1EI2haSz9aMsHjFUXNVz2Z4mtC0nMdZo6bo3-x-aRpw

It should get a piece Header, Bodyand Signature. What is code?

Answer 1

Here you go:

import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;
@Test
    public void testDecodeJWT(){
        String jwtToken = "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ0ZXN0Iiwicm9sZXMiOiJST0xFX0FETUlOIiwiaXNzIjoibXlzZWxmIiwiZXhwIjoxNDcxMDg2MzgxfQ.1EI2haSz9aMsHjFUXNVz2Z4mtC0nMdZo6bo3-x-aRpw";
        System.out.println("------------ Decode JWT ------------");
        String[] split_string = jwtToken.split("\\.");
        String base64EncodedHeader = split_string[0];
        String base64EncodedBody = split_string[1];
        String base64EncodedSignature = split_string[2];

        System.out.println("~~~~~~~~~ JWT Header ~~~~~~~");
        Base64 base64Url = new Base64(true);
        String header = new String(base64Url.decode(base64EncodedHeader));
        System.out.println("JWT Header : " + header);


        System.out.println("~~~~~~~~~ JWT Body ~~~~~~~");
        String body = new String(base64Url.decode(base64EncodedBody));
        System.out.println("JWT Body : "+body);        
    }

The result is below:

------------ Decode JWT ------------
~~~~~~~~~ JWT Header ~~~~~~~
JWT Header : {"alg":"HS256"}
~~~~~~~~~ JWT Body ~~~~~~~
JWT Body : {"sub":"test","roles":"ROLE_ADMIN","iss":"myself","exp":1471086381}

Here is a non-package import method:

            java.util.Base64.Decoder decoder = java.util.Base64.getUrlDecoder();
            String[] parts = jwtToken.split("\\."); // split out the "parts" (header, payload and signature)

            String headerJson = new String(decoder.decode(parts[0]));
            String payloadJson = new String(decoder.decode(parts[1]));
            //String signatureJson = new String(decoder.decode(parts[2]));

REGARDLESS (from this alternative org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64 sansing'swer) ... you can also send these json snippets to pojo.

You can then take these JSON snippets and turn them into Pojo.

        //String jsonString = "{\"name\":\"JavaInterviewPoint\", \"department\":\"blogging\"}";

        //Map<String, Object> jsonMap = new HashMap<String, Object>();
        try {
            // convert JSON string to Map
            this.jsonMap = mapper.readValue(jsonString,
