JSON Web Token

JSON Web Tokens are an open, industry standard RFC 7519 method for representing claims securely between two parties. for more info, check out https://jwt.io/

Token authentication is a more modern approach and is designed solve problems session IDs stored server-side can’t. Using tokens in place of session IDs can lower your server load, streamline permission management, and provide better tools for supporting a distributed or cloud-based infrastructure.
