Answer
Header, Payload, Signature. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
A JWT consists of three parts: the Header specifies the token type and hashing algorithm, the Payload contains claims (like user roles), and the Signature ensures integrity by verifying the token hasn't been tampered with. This structure allows secure stateless authentication in distributed systems.
