Zero Dependency
A design principle in software development whereby a project depends on no third-party libraries or frameworks and implements functionality using only the standard library, in order to reduce deployment complexity and the risk of version conflicts.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Zero-dependency means the project relies on no third-party libraries or frameworks, with all functionality implemented on the standard library.
Reducing third-party dependencies means a smaller attack surface, more controllable audit costs, and a longer maintainability cycle.
The challenge of a zero-dependency JWT solution is that developers must handle edge cases such as token expiration, refresh mechanisms, and revocation lists on their own.
Compared to mature large-scale frameworks, zero-dependency lightweight libraries may make trade-offs in the breadth of functionality.
