JSON Web Token vs Satellizer: What are the differences?
What is JSON Web Token? A JSON-based open standard for creating access tokens. JSON Web Token is an open standard that defines a compact and self-contained way for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object. This information can be verified and trusted because it is digitally signed.
What is Satellizer? Token-based AngularJS Authentication. Satellizer is a simple to use, end-to-end, token-based authentication module for AngularJS with built-in support for Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter authentication providers, plus Email and Password sign-in method. You are not limited to the sign-in options above, in fact you can add any OAuth 1.0 or OAuth 2.0 provider by passing provider-specific information during the configuration step.
JSON Web Token and Satellizer belong to "User Management and Authentication" category of the tech stack.
JSON Web Token and Satellizer are both open source tools. It seems that Satellizer with 8.08K GitHub stars and 1.27K forks on GitHub has more adoption than JSON Web Token with 2.59K GitHub stars and 259 GitHub forks.
