- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.

Parameters accepted by JWTSession constructor
1. Timeout : int
Session timeout in minutes.
2. Secret Key : string
This will be used to sign your session cookie.
3. Expire on Browser Close : boolean
Set it to true if you want the session to expire when the user closes the browser otherwise set it to false. By default, it is set to false.
4. Cookie name : string
If you are running multiple websites using this library on same domain then it is a good idea to set this to something else to avoid session collision. By default, it is set to "AUTH_BEARER".
5. Domain : string
By default it will be set to $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]. You can set it manually to point to your domain. The session cookie will only work for Domain you set here.
Note
The JWT Token can't be tampered with, but it is readable. This library stores the JWT token into a cookie so it is recommended that you don't save sensitive data like passwords in it. Also, the cookie can store only 4093 bytes of data so you should not store lots of information in your session.
