A JWT token is simply a compact and self contained JSON object that contains information like email and password. You can use JWT to add authentication in your Angular 8 application without resorting to make use of the traditional mechanisms for implementing authentication in web apps like sessions and cookies.
What is JWT token and how it works?
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.
What are tokens in Angular?
JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) provide one way to solve this issue. Your Angular app can talk to a backend that produces a token. The Angular app can then pass that token in an Authorization header to the backend to prove they’re authenticated. The backend should verify the JWT and grant access based on its validity.
