JSON Web Token Authentication
-----------------------------
As an alternative to oAuth for Token based authentication, you can use [JSON Web Token](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc75190 (JWT) authentication. An implimentation of the JWT standard, for the WordPress REST API is provided by the [JWT Authentication For The REST API](https://wordpress.org/plugins/jwt-authentication-for-wp-rest-api/).

Usage of this plugin is well documented in the plugin [README](https://github.com/Tmeister/wp-api-jwt-auth/blob/develop/README.md).
