Direct answer
To use jwt-decoder, start with a small representative input, decode a known input and verify that the recovered content matches, and inspect the result before relying on it.
Key takeaways
- Purpose: decode a known input and verify that the recovered content matches.
- Check: syntax, expected behavior, escaping and compatibility.
- Limitation: passing a sample does not prove production correctness.
Common mistakes
- Assuming the output is correct because the operation completed. Instead, inspect syntax, expected behavior, escaping and compatibility.
- Using production or confidential material as the first test. Use a minimal reproducible example with a known expected result instead.
- Ignoring compatibility: passing a sample does not prove production correctness.
