JSON Web Token (JWT) pronounced “jat” is an authentication and authorization widely used in modern apps. In this mechanism, when the user logs in with their credentials, the server generates a unique key called the JWT token that it sends to the client. The client would then include the JWT token in the header when it sends a request to a protected endpoint on the server. The server would then verify the JWT token before sending a response to the client. In this tutorial, you will see code samples for how to add JWT security to Java Spring Boot API. The code samples provided here are from a sample project on Github, the link for which will be included in this post. Before starting with the code samples, it would be beneficial to understand JWT in a bit more.
