parsing tokens

[Carlton Smith III]

Fairly new to ruby here. I'd like to know if anyone has any examples of parsing a token once it has been decoded.

Hi Carlton,

if you take a look at the README.md (https://github.com/jwt/ruby-jwt/blob/master/README.md) the JWT.decode method always returns an array.

The array contains two hashes which represent the payload and the header.

You can access them by using the following code:

payload, header = JWT.decode token, mySecret

# display the content
puts payload.inspect
puts header.inspect

Thanks for the input. I actually was able to figure out why I was having so much difficulty,. I was using the variable "response" to store what JWT returned, and it turns out that is a keyword in Rails. It was displaying an object that had nothing to do with JWT and I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to get to the data. After changing the variable name I had a simple array to deal with.
