The string 'JSON Web Token' doesn't appear anywhere on the web page. If you're going to use an acronym expand it out the first time you use it.

I expected this to be about Java Web Toolkit until I saw it was implemented in many languages.

It was obviously about the James Webb Telescope.

FWIW I've only seen that abbreviated as JWST

[abhgh]

Thats what I thought too.

Like JSON? I think for some acronyms, JSON and JWT included, those are their "proper" names, with the expanded name being just a curious historical note.

I agree for JSON, not JWT.

Then at least link the first instance to the Wikipedia page or something. After reading the first couple of paragraphs I had no idea what this article was about.

I had never heard of JWT and I definitely know what JSON is. I don’t think they’re anywhere near each other in ubiquity.

I'd say it's good writing to link to the wiki entry for a less common concept like JWT in the first paragraph, right next to where they first mention it. It's definitely not ubiquitous like JSON, SQL, or FBI.

[icebraining]

Right, linking to the wiki makes sense. I just don't think expanding the name gives you anything.

Fair point. I added it at the beginning. JWT will be as ubiquitous as JSON eventually but it's not quite there yet.
