// iris provides some basic middleware, most for your learning curve.
// You can use any net/http compatible middleware with iris.FromStd wrapper.

// JWT net/http video tutorial for golang newcomers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgJFeqeXVKw
//
// This middleware is the only one cloned from external source: https://github.com/auth0/go-jwt-middleware
// (because it used "context" to define the user but we don't need that so a simple iris.FromStd wouldn't work as expected.)
