I appreciate the design to always uphold the invariants of every type.
For
jwt::jwks
, which is an object holding a collection of jwks, constructing an empty collection of jwks is valid and maintains the invariants of the type.The motivation for this is encapsulating
jwt::jwks
in a caching class, where JWKs are often cached with periodic refreshing. There aren't any keys until fetched from issuer. I found myself doingjwt::jwks{"{\"keys\":[]}"}
since there wasn't a default constructor, which feels silly.
