JWT
(JSON Web Token)
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 authorization in web applications.
A JWT consists of three parts: a header, a payload, and a signature. The payload contains claims, which are statements about an entity (typically the user) and additional data. JWTs are often used in OAuth and SSO systems to securely share user information. Their compact size and versatility make them a popular choice for modern web security.
