Have you heard of a "jwt" before (JSON web token)?
It's a word we often read and write but rarely say.
So how do you pronounce it?
I asked over 30 software engineers and technical operators exactly that question. Here are a handful of their responses.
Turns out - there is an official pronunciation for "jwt" on the creators's (Auth0) website.
JSON web token (JWT), pronounced "jot", is an open standard (RFC 7519) that defines a compact and self-contained way for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object.
But it's NOT the same way to pronounce "JWt (Java web toolkit)".
JWt (pronounced "jay-witty") is an open-source widget-centric web application framework for the Java programming language developed by Emweb.
