Use Case Guide

Test JWT Tokens

Inspect your JWT payloads without leaving your app. Test how your frontend reacts to expired, invalid, or scoped tokens instantly.

The Problem

Troubleshooting JWT-related issues usually requires copying tokens to external sites like jwt.io, which is slow and poses security risks.

The DevConsole Solution

DevConsole includes a built-in JWT decoder that automatically finds tokens in your storage or headers and shows the decoded payload inline.

Step-by-Step Implementation

Locate the Token

DevConsole automatically highlights JWTs in your LocalStorage and Authorization headers.

Decode and Inspect

View the header, payload, and signature status in a clean, visual interface.

Simulate Expiration

Modify the 'exp' claim in your local copy to test how your UI handles token refresh logic.
