What is JWT?

A JWT utility for development: sign tokens with a secret key and view the decoded payload of any token.

How it works

The header and payload are Base64URL-encoded and HMAC-signed with Web Crypto; decoding simply parses and Base64URL-decodes the payload segment.

Frequently asked questions

Is this secure enough for production secrets?

Signing happens locally with Web Crypto, but for production you should still sign server-side so the secret never enters a browser at all.
