Understanding JWT Tokens
What is a JWT?
JSON Web Token (JWT) is a compact, URL-safe means of representing claims to be transferred between two parties. It consists of three parts: header, payload, and signature, separated by dots and base64url encoded.
- • Header: Contains token type and signing algorithm
- • Payload: Contains claims or user data
- • Signature: Verifies token wasn't tampered with
- • Stateless: No server-side session storage needed
Why Parse JWTs?
JWT parsing is essential for debugging authentication issues, verifying token contents, checking expiration times, and understanding what data is being transmitted in tokens.
- • Debugging: Inspect token contents during development
- • Security: Verify token structure and claims
- • Expiration: Check token validity period
- • Development: Understand authentication flow
