JWT (JSON Web Token) is a compact and secure way of transmitting information between parties as a JSON object. It is commonly used for authentication and authorization in web applications and APIs.
JWT is mainly used to securely authenticate users and authorize access to protected resources. It allows applications and APIs to verify a user’s identity without relying on traditional server-side sessions.
JWT can be secure when implemented correctly. Using strong signing algorithms, HTTPS, short expiration times, and proper token validation is essential for keeping JWT-based authentication secure.
