}What is a JWT Decoder?
JWT Anatomy
| JWT Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Header | Contains token type and signing algorithm (e.g. HS256, RS256). |
| Payload Claims | Contains user claims, issue timestamp (`iat`), and expiration date (`exp`). |
| Signature | Verifies message integrity using secret keys or public key pairs. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my secret key transmitted over the network?
No. Decoding happens 100% locally in client-side JavaScript. Your tokens and secret keys are never transmitted to any external server.
What parts of a JWT token are decoded?
The decoder parses the JOSE Header (algorithm), Payload Claims (user ID, expiration, roles), and Signature component.
