This decoder only reads header and payload. The signature is not verified.

What is a JWT (JSON Web Token)?

JWT (JSON Web Token) is an open standard (RFC 7519) for transmitting information between parties as a compact JSON object. It is widely used for authentication and authorization in REST APIs. A JWT has three parts separated by dots: Header (algorithm and type), Payload (claims/data) and Signature (verification signature).
