Django : DRF Token based Authentication VS JSON Web Token
Ankit Agrawal

Hi everyone, I am building a real world application where users will access the app primarily from Android, iOS devices as well as Desktops. From my elementary research, I have realized that token based authentication mechanism is more better and elegant for client-server models as compared to session based authentication. In Django, I have found two popular ways to do this -
From what I understood, option 2] is an extension of 1] except that the Token is in the form of JSON(serialized). I would like to understand what other differences there are between option 1] and 2] and the advantages/disadvantages of choosing either. |

Hello,
after a quick read I cannot find any essential differences between the two, in regards of authentication. JWT, however, is much more fine grained and has a bunch of token manipulation options.
Best,
Gergely
