Example

JSON Web Key Set Viewer

Sample: JWKS with 1 RSA key

Example shown — replace it with your own JWKS JSON.

{ "keys": [{ "kty": "RSA", "kid": "a1b2c3", "use": "sig", "alg": "RS256", "n": "...", "e": "AQAB" }] }

Result

1 key found: kid=a1b2c3, type=RSA, use=signing, alg=RS256

How it works

  1. Paste your JWKS JSON.
  2. Each key's fields are parsed out.
  3. See a readable summary of every key's ID, type, and use.

The method

The JWKS JSON is parsed and each key's core fields — key ID, type, intended use, and algorithm — are summarized in a readable list.

FAQ

What is a JWKS?

A JSON Web Key Set, a standard format for publishing a set of cryptographic keys — commonly used by identity providers to publish the public keys needed to verify JWT signatures.

What do the "kid" and "alg" fields mean?

"kid" is the key ID, used to match a specific key when multiple keys are published; "alg" is the signing algorithm the key is intended to be used with, like RS256.

Does this validate a JWT against the keys?

No — this only parses and displays the keys in a JWKS for readability; JWT validation against a specific key is a separate step.
