!!! Overview [{$pagename}] is when the user successfully logs in using his [credentials], a [JSON Web Token] will be returned from the [Authentication Method] and must be saved locally (typically in [localStorage], but [cookies] can be also used), instead of the traditional approach of creating a session in the server and returning an [Authentication cookie]. Whenever the user wants to access a protected route or resource, the [user-agent] should send the [JSON Web Token], typically in the [Authorization Header] using the Bearer schema which a non-normative example is shown below: %%prettify {{{ Authorization: Bearer <token> }}} /% [{$pagename}] allows a stateless [authentication Method] as the user __state is never saved in server memory__. The server's [protected Resources] will check for a valid [JSON Web Token] in the [Authorization Header], and if it's present, the user will be allowed to access [protected Resource]. As [JSON Web Tokens] are self-contained, all the necessary information is there, reducing the need to query the database multiple times. [{$pagename}] also allows you to fully rely on [data] [APIs] that are stateless and even make requests to downstream services. Since is does not matter which [Security Domain] are serving your APIs, so [Cross Origin Resource Sharing] ([CORS]) will not be an issue as you do have when using [Authentication cookies]. !!
