JSON Web Tokens (JWT) - a list of 10 reasons why they are so cool and why you should get to know them and use them

In the article 'JWT is Awesome: Here’s Why', the author discusses the benefits of using JSON Web Tokens (JWT) in web applications. JWTs provide a secure method for transmitting information between websites and clients, as they are digitally signed. This ensures that the data has not been altered during transmission. The article highlights the capabilities that JWTs offer in terms of user authentication and authorization. JWT allows for a simple and convenient configuration of user sessions, eliminating the need to store session data on the server side, which can reduce server load. The author also emphasizes that the use of JWT is becoming increasingly popular, especially in applications that utilize a microservices architecture, where session management can be more complex.
