Im using express js as an external server. I used jsonwebtoken npm package to create and send a token with cookie. now im creating a middleware in next js for seeing if the cookie is present in every request. I installed jsonwebtoken on nextjs but its not working and giving me an error. After a bit online research, found out jose can do the job. my question is shall i have to use jose on express too? or can i verify the token generated by jwt with jose on next js?

import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server'
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'
import jwt from 'jsonwebtoken';

 
const protectedRoutes = ['/chat']
const publicRoutes = ['/signin', '/signup', '/']
 
export default async function middleware(req: NextRequest) {
  // 2. Check if the current route is protected or public
  const path = req.nextUrl.pathname
  const isProtectedRoute = protectedRoutes.includes(path)
  const isPublicRoute = publicRoutes.includes(path)
 
  // 3. Decrypt the session from the cookie
  const token = cookies().get('gpt-token')?.value || "";
  const session:any = jwt.verify(token, process.env.JWT_SECRET as string);
  console.log(session);
 
  // 5. Redirect to /login if the user is not authenticated
  if (isProtectedRoute && !session?.email) {
    return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/signin', req.nextUrl))
  }
 
  // 6. Redirect to /chat if the user is authenticated
  if (
    isPublicRoute &&
    session?.email &&
    !req.nextUrl.pathname.startsWith('/chat')
  ) {
    return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/chat', req.nextUrl))
  }
 
  return NextResponse.next()
}
 
// Routes Middleware should not run on
export const config = {
  matcher: ['/chat']
}
