JSON Web Token for Django REST Framework

djangorestframework-jwt provides JSON Web Token (JWT) based authentication for Django REST Framework. While historically popular, the library is largely unmaintained with its last release (1.11.0) in October 2017. Users are generally recommended to migrate to more actively maintained alternatives like `drf-simplejwt` for current Django and DRF versions, as this library lacks recent security updates and compatibility testing with newer Django/DRF releases.
