What is the JWT Decoder?

JSON Web Tokens carry login and permission data between apps. This decoder shows the header and payload of a token in readable JSON and turns the iat, nbf and exp times into dates, so you can see at a glance whether a token has expired. Decoding happens in your browser.

Decoding happens in your browser; the token is never sent anywhere.
