Hapi.js JWT Authentication Plugin

Hapi-auth-jwt2 is a robust authentication scheme and plugin designed for Hapi.js applications, enabling secure user authentication through JSON Web Tokens (JWTs). The current stable version is 11.0.0. The project demonstrates an active release cadence, with recent version bumps addressing dependency updates, enhancing error handling, and implementing minor breaking changes to align with evolving ecosystem standards like ESLint. Its key differentiators include deep integration within the Hapi framework as a first-party plugin, a flexible `validate` function for custom user authentication logic, and support for advanced features such as 'try mode' and compatibility with multiple authentication strategies. The plugin prioritizes developer-friendliness, offering clear usage examples and comprehensive guidance on both Hapi.js and JWT fundamentals.
