About JWT Tokens:
- JWT (JSON Web Token) is an open standard for securely transmitting information between parties
- A JWT consists of three parts separated by dots:
- Header: Contains token type and signing algorithm
- Payload: Contains the claims (statements about an entity)
- Signature: Used to verify the token wasn't altered
- Common JWT claims:
- iss (Issuer): Who issued the token
- sub (Subject): Who the token is about
- aud (Audience): Who the token is for
- exp (Expiration): When the token expires
- iat (Issued At): When the token was issued
- Note: This tool only decodes the token. It does not verify the signature.
Your JWT tokens are processed in your browser only - we never store or send your tokens to any server
