So there is a db roundtrip involved? Like a inverted session. Whats the point of using jwt then?

For most web frameworks, the user model gets retrieved from the db automatically whenever an authenticated request is made. So there is no extra lookup.

Oh man.

Proponents say critics dont offer alternatives at the same time they always literally 'reverse' engineered sessions if you dig deep enough.

I give up. JWT is just a hip thing to do right now. :(
