JWTs can be stored in cookies. So I don't understand why you say this.
- rusk 8y agoOh I'm not aware of the means of using JWT you describe. I think the context of this article is using JWT exclusively, and by the looks of things plenty of people are doing just that.
- 0xffff2 8y agoThe article specifically addresses the confusion that you're exhibiting: >A lot of people mistakenly try to compare "cookies vs. JWT". This comparison makes no sense at all, and it's comparing apples to oranges - cookies are a storage mechanism, whereas JWT tokens are cryptographically signed tokens. There's no such thing as "JWT exclusively". The JWT is just a chunk of data; it has to be stored somewhere, either in a cookie or in local storage.
- rusk 8y agoI’m not too sure what you’re talking about but the article is about this confusion.
