About JWT (JSON Web Token)

A JWT is a compact, URL-safe means of representing claims between two parties. It consists of three Base64url-encoded parts separated by dots: Header.Payload.Signature.

Header declares the token type and signing algorithm. Payload contains the claims (data). Signature verifies the token hasn't been tampered with.

Security note: Never put sensitive data in a JWT payload — it is only encoded, not encrypted and can be read by anyone.
