Payload (claims) architecture review about java-jwt

[nicovanbelle]

I really miss a feature like this. I understand that from your perspective the most simple solution is the best, but I find the current feature set quite lacking.

Thanks @amanteaux We think that adding that feature will allow unnecessary complexity to the library. We might consider doing it in the future if the need arises.

Just a note for anyone confused - you can't "cheat" by wrapping a POJO inside n layers of java.util.Map. The validation is recursive:

JWTCreator$Builder.validateClaim(Map<?,?>) line: 492	
JWTCreator$Builder.isSupportedType(Object) line: 516	
JWTCreator$Builder.validateClaim(Map<?,?>) line: 491	
JWTCreator$Builder.validatePayload(Map<String,?>) line: 478	
JWTCreator$Builder.withPayload(Map<String,?>) line: 457	
JWTSigner.sign(Map<String,Object>, Options) line: 63	

Maybe this is obvious to others but I wasn't sure from the wording so tried it out (with v4.3.0)
