📂 Features

• Easy Decoding: Quickly decode JWTs without any programming knowledge.
• User-Friendly Interface: Interface designed for simplicity, requiring minimal effort to use.
• Supports Multiple Platforms: Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
• Debugging Tool: Helps in inspecting JWTs for development purposes.

❓ Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues while using jwt-decode, consider the following tips:

• Incorrect Token Format: Ensure your JWT is properly formatted. A valid JWT typically has three parts separated by periods.

• Permission Issues: If you see “Permission denied” messages, ensure you have the proper permissions to execute the file. You may need to run chmod +x jwt-decode on Unix-based systems.

• Missing Dependencies: If you get an error about missing libraries, ensure your system has the required packages. For example, you might need to install certain libraries for Linux users.

🛡️ Security

While jwt-decode is a helpful tool for debugging, be cautious not to share sensitive JWTs publicly. Tokens might hold confidential user information or access dials. Always handle them securely and responsibly.
