WP Going to Integrate a Built-in REST API Plugin

-

WordPress maintained their repute despite lacking a built-in REST API. This built-in facility allows WordPress-based website's content and users to interact easily. However, on May 25, Ryan McCue creator of the plugin that extends the open source content management system with a full REST API that uses JSON and OAuth authentication. He is pushing WP to have it integrated before the major release of 4.0.

The plugin as ProgrammableWeb reports that previously the developers read, add and edit their WordPress content, including post metadata, custom post types and comments. However, the recent version 1.0 gives developers the ability to create, view, edit and delete user accounts. Further, the API manages the entire WordPress site and accesses the contents via a REST API.
(Look further at the report shared by ProgrammableWeb and WordPress to know about the how the API works.)
With the rise of popularity, WordPress transformed from a simple content management system to application framework and hence users demand something more. Therefore, to build more interactive sites a REST API fits well into that paradigm and supports a variety of use cases.
Being a Website Design andDevelopment Company, our developers at Unified look at more possibilities in WP, and the integration of REST API can enlarge this open source content platform and developers scope to make more user-friendly websites.
