JWT (Json web token) Vs Custom Token

Question

I was looking through the questions but I did not find anything which could solve my doubt. I found extensive information about JWT, but not much when comparing the advantages J

Answer 1

From Django REST framework documentation,

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.
