JWT stands for JSON Web Token, a compact and self-contained means of transmitting information.
JWT consists of three parts: header, payload, and signature.
The header specifies the type of token and the signing algorithm used.
The payload contains claims, which are statements about an entity (e.g. user) and its properties.
The signature is used to verify the authenticity of the token and ensure it has not been tampered with.
JWT can be used for authentication, information exchange, and creating access tokens.
JWT is widely supported by various programming languages and frameworks, and can be used in a variety of applications.
JWT is stateless, meaning it doesn’t require the server to store information about the token.
