What is JWT.io?

JWT.io lets you paste a JSON Web Token to see its header and payload decoded, check the signature with your secret or key, and read a clear introduction to how JWTs work. It is maintained by Auth0, free to use, and also lists JWT libraries for many languages.

Pros: what JWT.io does well

  • Instant token decoding
  • Signature checking
  • Good introduction to JWTs

Cons: where it falls short

  • Never paste production secrets
  • Run by a vendor with paid products
