JWT Support

[jaredpetersen]

JSON Web Token support has been requested on two separate occasions over the years:

• Java driver support JWT authentication  #115
• HTTP protocol auth failed #140

Is this still something under consideration for the backlog? It's a feature that I would really appreciate. While it's not necessary for the VelocyPack setup as described in the first linked issue, it's ideal for the HTTP_JSON protocol.

Other official ArangoDB drivers support JSON Web Token for authentication, why not the Java Driver?

• JavaScript
• GO

Jwt authentication will be supported in the next reactive rewrite of the driver (already implemented here: https://github.com/arangodb/arangodb-java-driver/blob/next/src/main/java/com/arangodb/next/connection/AuthenticationMethod.java#L36).

You can follow the development in the next branch: https://github.com/arangodb/arangodb-java-driver/tree/next
