Frequently asked questions
Should I use this to generate production tokens?
This is best suited for testing and development. Production tokens should be generated server-side using a properly secured secret.
What's the difference between the header, payload, and signature?
The header specifies the algorithm, the payload holds the claims or data, and the signature verifies the token hasn't been tampered with.
