To implement JWT authentication for a Node.js API, you need secure token generation and validation mechanisms. This skill provides comprehensive guidance and practical JavaScript code examples for setting up JWTs to protect your endpoints.

The best way to prevent SQL injection and XSS in API endpoints is through rigorous input validation and sanitization. This skill offers secure coding patterns and practical examples to sanitize inputs and block common injection attacks effectively.

Rate limiting protects REST and GraphQL APIs from DDoS attacks by restricting the number of requests a client can make within a specific timeframe. This skill guides you through implementing rate limiting to safeguard your APIs from abuse and overload.

Yes, you can use OAuth 2.0 and RBAC for API authorization in JavaScript. This skill covers secure authentication and authorization patterns, providing practical code examples to implement these protocols across REST, GraphQL, and WebSocket APIs.

You need to secure WebSocket APIs differently than REST APIs when handling persistent connections and real-time data streams. This skill addresses specific vulnerabilities and provides tailored secure coding patterns for WebSocket, REST, and GraphQL architectures.
