Introduction to JWT and Cookie storage

This post discusses two popular methods for handling authorization and authentication in web development: JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and cookie storage. It provides definitions, structures, advantages, and disadvantages of both methods and compares them to help developers decide which is best for their project. JWTs are compact, self-contained tokens that can be used across different domains, while cookies are stored on the client's browser and are primarily used for tracking user sessions. Both methods have pros and cons, with JWTs offering more security but requiring additional implementation effort, while cookies are simpler to implement but less secure. The choice between the two depends on the specific needs of the project and the level of security required.
