What is a JWT?

JWT stands for JSON Web Token.

A JWT is a compact token format commonly used for:

  • Authentication
  • APIs
  • Sessions
  • Authorization
  • Secure data exchange

JWTs are widely used in modern web development.

JWT Structure

A JWT contains three parts:

header.payload.signature

Example:

xxxxx.yyyyy.zzzzz

Each section is Base64URL encoded.

JWT Header Example

{
  "alg": "HS256",
  "typ": "JWT"
}

JWT Payload Example

{
  "sub": "1234567890",
  "name": "John Doe",
  "admin": true
}

JWT Signature

JWT signatures verify token integrity.

HS256 uses:

HMAC SHA256

with a secret key.
