How many parts does a JWT Token consist of?

A JWT token consists of three parts separated by dots (.):

• Header: Contains information about the token type (JWT) and the encryption algorithm used (e.g., HS256 or RS256).
• Payload: Carries claims about the entity (usually the user) and additional data (e.g., username, roles, expiration).
• Signature: Created by hashing the encoded header, encoded payload, and secret. Used to verify the integrity of the token and the authenticity of its sender.
