#falcon-jwt-checker
falcon-jwt-checker is a middleware for the Falcon Python web framework. It checks all requests except those to specified exempt routes for a valid jwt, rejecting those that do not have one present. It uses PyJwt to perform jwt validation.
falcon-jwt-checker merely checks for valid jwts on requests, it does not deal with issuing tokens at all. This is because I view that as a separate concern entirely, for which there are a number of possible strategies.
