I'm hugely grateful for this article: it's the first I've seen that explains JWTs end-to-end with the technical details of how to implement and inspect them on the browser side, including storage.
I haven't needed to understand JWTs in depth, so have never spent the time to do a deep technical dive, but I'd still like to understand how they work. Every time I see a JWT article pass by, I'll jump in and find the general concepts explained but with enough technical gaps that I couldn't understand them in practical terms, especially when compared to my years of previous web-dev experience with cookies.
Also thanks to @unscaled for pointing out PASETO, which aims to fix some of the many problems with JWTs: https://paseto.io/ https://paseto.io/
