Understanding JWTs

Structure: JWTs consist of three Base64URL-encoded parts separated by dots: header.payload.signature

Header: Contains metadata about the token, typically the signing algorithm (alg) and token type (typ)

Payload: Contains claims - statements about an entity and additional data

Signature: Ensures the token hasn't been tampered with (requires secret key to verify)

Security Note: Never paste tokens containing sensitive data into online tools. This tool runs entirely in your browser.
