What is JWT token and JWT vs Sessions

In this video, we'll explore the differences between JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and sessions for authentication in web applications. We'll cover how JWTs are stateless, storing all necessary information within the token itself, making them ideal for scalable, distributed systems. On the other hand, sessions store user state on the server, referenced by a session ID, which is sent to the client as a cookie. We'll discuss the pros and cons of each approach, including security implications, storage methods, and typical use cases. By the end of this video, you'll have a clear understanding of when to use JWTs versus sessions in your web development projects.
