What is the difference between using a gem like devise_token_auth and devise_jwt?
I have a rails api only application that I want to use devise for the authentication. I came across this decision and I want to know which one is better. Would it make sense for a high volume web application to use something like devise_token_auth or devise_jwt. I do understand that devise_jwt uses JSON Web Tokens but it has proved to be difficult when implementing OAuth.
I would switch to devise_token_auth but I just want to understand if it is actually better or worse than jwt as a form of authentication.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
