Topic for this post will be JSON Web Token. JSON Web Token is an open standard, under RFC 7519, that is defines a compact and self-contained way for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object. JSON Web Token is an internet standard for creating data with optional signature and/or optional encryption whose payload holds JSON that asserts some number of claims. This information can be verified and trusted because it is digitally signed. The tokens are signed either using public or a private key. Below are links, with information how to work with JSON Web Token, for a Drupal website.

First link is to a blog by “Media Current” website, titled “Using JSON Web Tokens (JWT) to Authenticate Requests to REST Resources in Drupal 8.” It go's through the steps of setting up JSON Web Token on a Drupal 8 website, to authenticate some core REST resources. Second link is a video from DrupalCamp NJ YouTube page, presentation on working with JSON Web Token, I was present, at the online record of this video. The third links is the Drupal main website, with information on the Drupal module for JSON Web Token Authentication (JWT).

PHP is a popular scripting language that is especially suited to web development. The PHP development team announces the availability of PHP 7.4.7, this June. Another thing that happen this June PHP just turn 25 years old.

In 1995, Rasmus Lerdorf starts working on PHP the first incarnation of PHP was created, written in the C programming language, not Perl. It was originally used for tracking visits to Rasmus Lerdorf’s online resume, he named the suite of scripts “Personal Home Page Tools,” more commonly referenced today as “PHP Tools”.

Entity Framework is an open source object-relational mapping framework for ADO.NET. It was a part of .NET Framework, but since Entity Framework version 6, it is now separated from .NET framework. Entity Framework serve as an object-relational mapper, enabling .NET developers to work with a database using .NET objects, and eliminating the need for most of the data-access code they usually programmer need to write.

One of the thing I would like to talk about is Entity Framework Core can access many different databases through it's plug-in libraries, these are called called database providers. Data Provider are used to connect to a database, executing commands, and retrieving results. For example, SQL data provider for SQL, Oracle data provider for Oracle, and you have OLE DB data provider for access & excel.

Entity Framework uses a provider model to allow Entity Framework to be used to access many different databases. There are links below with more information how this is done.
