Where do I put JSON web token?

JWT, or JSON Web Token, is an open standard used to share security information between two parties — a client and a server . Each JWT contains encoded JSON objects, including a set of claims. JWTs are signed using a cryptographic algorithm to ensure that the claims cannot be altered after the token is issued.

Information Exchange: JSON Web Tokens are a good way of securely transmitting information between parties . Because JWTs can be signed—for example, using public/private key pairs—you can be sure the senders are who they say they are.

JWT Structure. A JWS (the most common type of JWT) contains three parts separated by a dot ( . ) . The first two parts (the “header” and “payload”) are Base64-URL encoded JSON, and the third is a cryptographic signature.
