Debugging JWT tokensVerifying token signaturesInspecting token claimsAPI development

A JSON Web Token (JWT) is a compact, URL-safe token format used to securely transmit information between parties. JWTs consist of three parts separated by dots: a header, a payload, and a signature. The header specifies the token type and signing algorithm, the payload contains the claims (data), and the signature ensures the token hasn't been tampered with. JWTs are commonly used for authentication and authorization in web applications and APIs.
