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 -
1.
http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/authentication/#tokenauthentication
2. http://getblimp.github.io/django-rest-framework-jwt/
>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.
