What is a JWT?

JWT stands for JSON Web Token.

It is a compact authentication format commonly used in:

  • APIs
  • Authentication systems
  • OAuth
  • Web applications
  • Backend services
  • Authorization workflows

JWT Structure

A JWT contains three sections:

header.payload.signature

Each section is Base64URL encoded.

JWT Header Example

Example JWT header:

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

The header defines the token algorithm and type.

JWT Payload Example

Example JWT payload:

{
  "sub": "123456789",
  "name": "John",
  "admin": true
}

The payload contains claims and user data.

Why JWT Parsing Matters

JWT parsers are useful for:

  • API debugging
  • Authentication testing
  • Backend development
  • Security analysis
  • Token inspection
  • Authorization workflows

Browser-Based JWT Parsing

Modern JWT parsers can run directly in the browser using JavaScript.

Benefits include:

  • Instant decoding
  • Better privacy
  • No server uploads
  • Faster debugging

Common JWT Claims

Common claims include:

exp
iat
sub
iss
aud
nbf

These define expiration, issuer, subject and audience information.
