Get the Entire Loaded JWE Structure

See more JSON Web Encryption (JWE) Examples

Demonstrates Jwe.GetHeader, which copies the entire currently loaded JWE structure into a JsonObject.

Background. This is the full JWE representation, not a decoded or merged JOSE header. It can contain the protected, unprotected, and per-recipient header material.
