Decoding a JWT shows claims but does not prove authenticity. Production debugging needs signature verification and structured checks on time and audience claims.

The JWT Validator goes beyond the JWT Decoder:

  1. HS256 — verify with your HMAC secret
  2. RS256 — verify with an RSA public key PEM
  3. Claims panel — exp, nbf, aud and iss with pass/fail badges

Typical workflow

  • Paste a token from Authorization: Bearer …
  • Enter the verifier (secret or public key)
  • Optionally set expected aud and iss
  • Read signature and claim results before trusting the payload

Build test tokens with the JWT Signer, then validate them here. Everything runs in the browser.
