All Known Implementing Classes:

EncryptedJwt, EncryptedThenSignedJwt, JwtClaimsSet, SignedEncryptedJwt, SignedJwt, SignedThenEncryptedJwt
```
public interface Payload
```
The interface represents the body of a JWT.
When the JWT is digitally signed or MACed, the bytes of the UTF-8 representation of the Payload are base64url encoded to create the Encoded JWS Payload. When the JWT is encrypted, the bytes of the UTF-8 representation of the Payload are used as the JWE Plaintext.

Since:

2.0.0
