I had a long winded answer, but the question broad. My answer was a little rusty, but I explained the importance of maintaining state across multiple pages for a user's session to even the use of JWT on stateless APIs to maintaining state. I also supplied examples of usage for both Flight Centre and how I used in in my own experience. I incorrectly said that with JWT, state is maintained on the server, when it's actually maintained in the token itself, but these answers were all instigated by that single question, and I wanted to demonstrate my knowledge. The feedback I got was a glaring, unimpressed expression despite it all.
