Answer
A JWT consists of a Header, Payload, and Signature.
A JSON Web Token (JWT) is composed of three parts: the Header, which contains metadata about the token; the Payload, which holds the claims; and the Signature, which is used to verify the token's integrity. In a Java e-commerce application, a JWT might be used to authenticate user sessions without maintaining server-side session data.
