Allow passing a JWT as URI fragment

[guillp]

I would like to be able to pass JWT tokens in URI fragments, like this:
https://jwt.io/#my.token.here

Which would allow sharing direct links to jwt.io with the token included, instead of instructing colleagues to go to https://jwt.io then paste <my.token.here> in the left text area.
Fragments are not sent to the HTTP server, so a client side code must read that value and use it as the "encoded" token value. Currently, the fragment is ignored.

Hey @guillp

You can share links with the a token as the token= query parameter, and the debugger will automatically use it.
eg: https://jwt.io/?token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIiwibmFtZSI6IkhleSBAZ3VpbGxwIiwiaWF0IjoxNTE2MjM5MDIyfQ.jUC-ZfZ7Xvl9iPMfu2PGRUMOzYtM2KkNEJteSX7qRYs

Thanks for pointing that out. The issue is that using a query parameter, the JWT token will be sent to the server, which defeats the purpose of having client side parsing.

Howdy, Guillaume! I am one of the recent maintainers for jwt.io and I really like this idea. I'll be exploring it for the next version of the site.
