A JSON Web Token is a compact, URL-safe, digitally signed token format used to securely transmit claims (such as user identity or permissions) between parties, commonly for authentication and authorization in web applications and APIs. It consists of a header, payload, and signature encoded in Base64, allowing a server to verify the token's integrity without querying a database. Developers building stateless, scalable authentication systems (e.g., single sign-on, API access control) rely heavily on JWTs.
