JWT

JWT (JSON Web Token) is a secure token format used for transmitting information between parties. It is commonly used for authentication and authorization in web applications.

How can I implement user authentication and authorization using JSON Web Tokens (JWT) in my web application?

To implement user authentication and authorization using JSON Web Tokens (JWT) in your web application, you can follow these steps:

1. Generate a JWT when the user logs in and include relevant user information.
2. Store the JWT securely on the client-side (typically in local storage or a cookie).
3. Include the JWT in the headers of subsequent API requests.
4. Validate the JWT on the server-side to ensure its authenticity and integrity.
5. Extract the user information from the JWT and use it for authorization purposes.

JWT provides a secure way to authenticate and authorize users in web applications by using digitally signed tokens.
