Understanding JWT Structure

A JWT consists of three parts separated by dots:

  1. Header: Contains token type and signing algorithm
  2. Payload: Contains claims (user data, expiration, etc.)
  3. Signature: Used to verify the token hasn't been tampered with

Note: This tool only decodes the header and payload. It does not verify the signature.
