JSON Web Token is a fairly new standard which can be used for token-based authentication. Unlike the built-in TokenAuthentication scheme, JWT Authentication doesn't need to use a database to validate a token. A package for JWT authentication is [djangorestframework-simplejwt][djangorestframework-simplejwt] which provides some features as well as a pluggable token blacklist app.
