Is it possible to use JWT in my unity games?

I've read here that JWT needs .NET version 3.5+ and in Unity 5.4.1f1 the .NET version is "2.0.50727.1433". Is this information correct or incorrect?

If it is incorrect, can anyone point me to the right direction as to how I would go about implementing JWT in C#?

Sorry if I made any mistake, I'm completely new to JWT

afaik unity isn't currently capable of running on microsoft's own .NET framework, but rather uses mono an open clone of .NET

The version number you mentioned is the mono runtime version.

That version is roughly compatible with .NET 3.5

Whether or not you can run JWT will thus depend on whether you can compile and run the library you need on mono.

if there isn't any library that can actually decode / encode JWT requests and compiles / runs in mono, you'll have to write your own.

::update::

Looks like someone has done exactly that

    \$\begingroup\$ I deleted this question before because I no longer need to use JWT in my game. However, the link you have provided in edit can be beneficial for anyone else stumbling upon this question. So I decided to un-delete this question and accept it as answer. Have a nice day. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 25, 2019 at 4:32
