JWT (JSON Web Token) is an open standard for securely transmitting information between web applications. It consists of three parts: Header, Payload, and Signature, separated by dots.
- π Header: Contains the token type and signing algorithm (e.g., HMAC, RSA).
- π Payload: Contains claims such as user ID, expiration time, etc.
- π Signature: Used to verify that the message has not been tampered with (this tool does not verify signatures).
- π JWT uses Base64URL encoding (replaces
+ and / with - and _, and removes padding =).
- π‘ Enter a valid JWT token and click "Decode" to view the raw JSON of the Header and Payload.
