Common questions
Does decoding a JWT verify that it is valid?
No. Decoding only reads the payload. It does not verify the signature, issuer, audience, expiry or trust. Never use a decoded payload alone to authorize access.
Does this tool execute the code or data I paste?
Inputs are treated as data under the stated parser or transformation. Output is displayed as text. Parsing or formatting does not establish that the content is safe to execute elsewhere.
