Answer
JWTs are used for stateless authentication.
JWTs allow secure information exchange between parties as a JSON object. In Java applications, they're commonly used to verify user identity without needing to store session data on the server. For instance, after a user logs in, the server issues a JWT with user roles encoded, allowing subsequent requests to be authenticated using this token alone.
