          What is Auth0?

          A set of unified APIs and tools that instantly enables Single Sign On and user management to all your applications.

          What is JSON Web Token?

          JSON Web Token is an open standard that defines a compact and self-contained way for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object. This information can be verified and trusted because it is digitally signed.

          What is OAuth2?

          It is an authorization framework that enables a third-party application to obtain limited access to an HTTP service, either on behalf of a resource owner by orchestrating an approval interaction between the resource owner and the HTTP service, or by allowing the third-party application to obtain access on its own behalf.
