JSON Web Token vs LDAP: What are the differences?
Developers describe JSON Web Token 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. On the other hand, LDAP is detailed as "An open source implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol". It is a free, open-source implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. Lightweight Directory Access is an application protocol that is used to crosscheck information on the server end.
JSON Web Token and LDAP can be categorized as "User Management and Authentication" tools.
JSON Web Token is an open source tool with 2.59K GitHub stars and 259 GitHub forks. Here's a link to JSON Web Token's open source repository on GitHub.
