What is JWT?

JSON Web Token (JWT) is an open standard (RFC 7519) that defines a compact and self-contained way for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object.

Structure of a JWT

A JWT typically consists of three parts separated by dots (.):

  1. Header: Consists of the token type and signing algorithm.
  2. Payload: Contains the claims (statements about an entity).
  3. Signature: Used to verify the message wasn't changed along the way.

Security Note

JWTs are encoded, not encrypted. Anyone can read the payload if they have the token. Do not put secret information in the payload.
