A minimal JSON Web Token authentication plugin for Django REST Framework

Project description

A minimal JSON Web Token authentication plugin for the Django REST Framework.

https://travis-ci.org/davesque/django-rest-framework-simplejwt.svg?branch=master https://codecov.io/gh/davesque/django-rest-framework-simplejwt/branch/master/graph/badge.svg

Simple JWT provides a JSON Web Token authentication backend for the Django REST Framework. This project has the following goals:

  • Provide a minimal set of features – The aim is not to provide all features which could be implemented on top of the JWT specification.

  • Discourage crypto negotiation – Protocols which allow for negotiation of crypto algorithms are generally considered to be weak by design. Simple JWT assumes that most use cases will be covered by sha-256 HMAC signing with a shared secret.

  • Ease of installation – It should be easy to get up and running with Simple JWT.
