About JWT Tokens
JSON Web Tokens (JWT) are an open standard (RFC 7519) for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object. JWTs consist of three parts:
- Header: Contains the token type and signing algorithm
- Payload: Contains the claims (user data and metadata)
- Signature: Used to verify the token hasn't been tampered with
Security Note: Never share JWTs containing sensitive information. This tool decodes tokens client-side and does not send them to any server.
