Details
JSON Web Token (JWT) is an open standard (RFC 7519) that defines a compact and self-contained way for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object. This information can be verified and trusted because it is digitally signed.
This tool allows you to decode JWT tokens to inspect their header and payload contents. You can also validate the token's signature by providing the secret key used to sign it when using HS algorithm or public key when using RS algorithm.
A JWT token consists of three parts separated by dots (.):
- Header - Contains the type of token and the signing algorithm being used
- Payload - Contains the claims or the JWT's data
- Signature - Used to verify that the sender of the JWT is who it says it is
