JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) are portable identity tokens. A JWT is issued after completing a Login request and is used to identify a user. JWTs can be used to call various FusionAuth APIs or they can be used to authenticate and authorize your APIs. In this document the term JWT and access token are used interchangeably.
