What is JWT Decoder?

A JWT decoder that splits a token into header and payload, pretty-prints the JSON, and flags expiry and insecure alg:none tokens.

How it works

The token is split on '.', base64url-decoded, and parsed; expiry is checked against the current time and insecure algorithms are flagged.
