JSON Web Tokens (JWT) provide a secure, efficient means of authenticating and authorizing users in web applications. They consist of three parts: Header, Payload, and Signature, which are encoded and signed for security. JWTs' self-contained nature makes them ideal for scalable, stateless communication. Implementation involves generating, storing, and validating tokens while adhering to best practices such as securing secret keys, using HTTPS, and setting token expiration times.
