Hi All,

What is the difference between JWT and OAuth2? Can we use them interchangeably? Please share some good resources to learn about both.

Regards.

When you searched for them, what did it say? What don't you understand of what you found?

Hi Campbell,

I understood that OAuth2 can be used to access the authentication/authorization from 3rd party apps such as google/facebook etc. So, just wondering if we can use it in our apps as well?

And, in JWT, there is a json web token which contains information about algorithm, payload and signature, so, what is included in OAuth2 token?

Thanks.

Yes you can. I have used it before in springBoot with springSecurityApps.
here you can find some more information on the token
 
Yes, my master! Here is the tiny ad you asked for:
