## What it is
Djoser is a Python library providing REST endpoints for Django's authentication system via Django REST Framework. It offers views for registration, login, logout, password reset, and account activation, supporting token, JWT, social, and WebAuthn authentication.

## Use cases
- add user registration and login endpoints to a Django REST API
- implement JWT authentication for a Django backend
- set up password reset and account activation flows for a SPA
- add social authentication to a Django REST Framework project
- support WebAuthn/passkey login in Django
- handle authentication with a custom Django user model

## When to choose
- you're building a Django REST Framework API that needs auth endpoints
- you want ready-made registration, login, and password reset views for a single-page app
- you need JWT, token, social, or WebAuthn authentication in Django without writing it yourself

## When to avoid
- your project doesn't use Django and Django REST Framework
- you need highly custom authentication flows that differ greatly from standard registration/login patterns
- you're building a server-rendered Django app using Django's built-in session auth
