Cierge vs Django REST framework JWT

Cierge vs Django REST framework JWT: What are the differences?

Developers describe Cierge as "Easy magic-link authentication". Cierge is an open source authentication server (OIDC) that handles user signup, login, profiles, managerment, and more. Instead of storing passwords, Cirege uses magic links/codes and external logins to authenticate your users. On the other hand, Django REST framework JWT is detailed as "JSON Web Token Authentication support for Django REST Framework". This package provides JSON Web Token Authentication support for Django REST framework. Unlike some more typical uses of JWTs, this module only generates authentication tokens that will verify the user who is requesting one of your DRF protected API resources.

Cierge and Django REST framework JWT belong to "User Management and Authentication" category of the tech stack.
