What is teh structure of JWT?

Question

Accepted Answer

JWT (JSON Web Token) is a compact, URL-safe means of representing claims to be transferred between two parties.

JWT consists of three parts: header, payload, and signature.
Header typically consists of the type of token and the signing algorithm being used.
Payload contains the claims. Claims are statements about an entity (typically the user) and additional data.
Signature is created by encoding the header, payload, a secret, and the algorithm specified in the header.
JWTs are typically used for authentication and information exchange in web development.
