What is a JWT?
JSON Web Token (JWT) is a popular user authentication standard, used to exchange information online securely. This token is made up of three components – a header that specifies the algorithm used to encrypt the contents of the token; a payload that contains “claims” (information the token securely transmits); and a signature that can be used to verify the authenticity of the information.
