DID vs JSON Web Token: What are the differences?
Developers describe DID as "Authentication for websites and apps that users will love". It is an Identity Provider that can be used for web and apps. Users are authenticated by verifying access to an email address or a securely stored private key. On the other hand, JSON Web Token is detailed as "A JSON-based open standard for creating access tokens". 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.
DID and JSON Web Token belong to "User Management and Authentication" category of the tech stack.
JSON Web Token is an open source tool with 2.8K GitHub stars and 281 GitHub forks. Here's a link to JSON Web Token's open source repository on GitHub.
