Djoser and the out-of-date rest_framework_jwt
Djoser's docs mention the use of the latter framework as a requirement for JWT support. However, that framework hasn't been updated since Oct 5th, 2017, doesn't mention support for Django 2.0, and doesn't seem to be maintained anymore. Is Djoser compatible with django_rest_framework_simplejwt? Or should I plan my project around the continued use of rest_framework_jwt?

I just finished migrating from simplejwt to jwt on a react/Django project. Django rest jwt had a bit more features that I needed. The project has backing from the drf author and has a much bigger following on github than simple jwt(179 to 1.8k stars). _jwt is a wrapper around pyjwt which implements the core functionality, written by the same authors. Pyjwt is a bit more active. The project I’m working on is using Django 2.0 with python 3.6 and the package worked as intended.
That's good to hear. I was a bit concerned on using a framework with unanswered pull requests and issues for months, but it seems like the compatibility isn't an issue. Thanks for explaining.
