JWT:

What is JSON Web Token?
JSON Web Token (JWT) is an open standard that characterizes a conservative and independent way for safely communicating data between parties as a JSON object. This data can be checked and trusted in light of the fact that it is carefully marked. JWTs can be marked utilizing confidential (with the HMAC calculation) or a public/private key pair utilizing RSA or ECDSA.
How do JSON Web Tokens work?
In verification, when the client effectively signs in utilizing their certifications, a JSON Web Token will be returned. Since tokens are accreditations, extraordinary consideration should be taken to forestall security issues. As a general rule, you ought not to keep tokens longer than required.
At whatever point the client needs to get to an ensured course or asset, the client specialist ought to send the JWT, ordinarily in the Authorization header utilizing the Bearer composition.

The substance of the header should resemble the accompanying:
Approval: Bearer

This can be, in specific cases, a stateless approval component. The server's ensured courses will check for a legitimate JWT in the Authorization header, and on the off chance that it's present, the client will be permitted to get to secured assets. Assuming the JWT contains vital information, the need to question the data set for specific tasks might be diminished, however, this may not forever be the situation.
In the event that the token is sent in the Authorization header, Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) will not be an issue as it doesn't utilize treats.

Express:

What is Express? Express gives an insignificant connection point to assemble our applications. It gives us the apparatuses that are needed to fabricate our application. It is adaptable as there are various modules accessible on npm, which can be straightforwardly connected to Express. Express was created by TJ Holowaychuk and is kept up with by the Node.js establishment and various open-source donors. ExpressJS is a web application structure that furnishes you with a straightforward API to fabricate sites, web applications and back closes. With ExpressJS, you want not to stress over low-level conventions, processes, and so forth

We have set up the turn of events, presently the time has come to begin fostering our first application utilizing Express. Make another document called index.js and type the accompanying in it.

`var express = require('express');
var app = express();

app.get('/', function(req, res){
res.send("Hello world!");
});

app.listen(3000);`

Save the document, go to your terminal and type the accompanying.
nodemon index.js

This will begin the server. To test this application, open your program and go to http://localhost:3000 and a message will be shown as in the accompanying screen capture.
