Understanding JWTs

JSON Web Token (JWT) is an open standard 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.

Stateless Auth: JWTs are commonly used in modern web apps for authentication. After a user logs in, the server issues a JWT. The client then includes this JWT in the header of subsequent requests, allowing the server to identify the user without a database session lookup.
