How do I generate a unique token based on my contact information? The token must be linked to a user account.
Let us understand what a token is. Your Facebook password and the session keys used to encrypt the data that your server sends to the app are examples of tokens. The app uses the encrypted data and password to decrypt it and authenticate it as coming from you. Tokens are included as part of the encrypted data so that the app can decrypt it and then validate the token as coming from you.
The value of a token is determined by its scope. This is the set of things that it can access within your app or system. For example, for an authentication token, its scope is access to the account information for that user. An access token has a broader scope, including allowing the app to access files and to make calls on your servers.
Creating a Token Based Web API In JSON
What is JSON?
JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation, and it is a programming language for creating documents or data structures that contain key-value pairs. JSON can be translated into JavaScript or other programming languages such as C++ or Java.
JSON format for data exchange
JSON is an open standard format for transmitting data that is based on JavaScript syntax. It was developed in 1997 by Douglas Crockford at Yahoo!; however, it did not become well known until 2005 when it was adopted by web browser developers as an official Internet standard (ECMA-404). The benefit of this standard was twofold: it eliminated the need to write JavaScript code in order to create data structures, and its syntax was readable by humans.

How Does Jwt Work?
A JSON Web Token (JWT) is an object that contains claims related to an entity and is digitally signed using a secret key known only to its owner. This can be used as proof of
