Instead of session-based auth, clients receive a token on login and include it in subsequent requests, making it suitable for mobile apps, single-page applications, and microservices.\n\nThe package was last released on 2017-06-23 and is now archived. It was designed for Django 1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 1.11 and Django REST Framework 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, supporting Python 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5. No runtime dependencies means easy installation, but the lack of maintenance since the latest release raises concerns about security vulnerabilities and compatibility with modern tooling.","worth_installing":"No. This package is abandoned (latest release 2017-06-23, repository archived) and unsupported for modern Django and Python versions. Security patches are unlikely, and compatibility with current tooling is not guaranteed. For new projects or modern stacks, use an actively maintained JWT authentication package. For legacy systems still on the supported versions, evaluate whether upgrading is feasible before committing to this unmaintained dependency."},"id":"djangorestframework-jwt","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/djangorestframework-jwt","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/djangorestframework-jwt.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/djangorestframework-jwt/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2017-06-23","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"djangorestframework-jwt","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"JSON Web Token based authentication for Django REST framework"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":230199,"position":9115,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.11.0"}
