What is a JWT?

A JSON Web Token (JWT) is an open standard (RFC 7519) for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object. JWTs are commonly used for authentication and information exchange in modern web applications.

JWT Structure

A JWT consists of three parts separated by dots: header.payload.signature. The header typically contains the signing algorithm. The payload contains the claims (user data). The signature verifies the token's integrity.
