Description
JSON Web Token (JWT) is popular and talked about all the time, but what is JWT exactly and what is JWT structure, and how it works. In this course, we will answer these questions and also see how we can use JWT to build a token-based authentication REST APIs using Node.js with JWT and see how is that compared to the traditional cookie-based authentication.

This course also dives into defining and creating Authentication API, exposing API Endpoints over HTTP, and handling HTTP Requests. It covers testing API Endpoints (using an HTTP client - Postman).
