parse Method

Parses the compact serialized JWE string.

Syntax

def parse() -> None: ...

Remarks

This method parses, but does not decrypt, the JWE string.

Take care when using this method as no decryption is performed. This method may be helpful in cases where only header information is desired.

If decryption is desired, use decrypt instead. It is not necessary to call this method before calling decrypt. decrypt will both parse and decrypt the message.

When calling this method the headers are parsed. The on_header_param and on_recipient_info events will fire and the HeaderParam* properties will be populated.
