Preliminary pass at a JSON API for WordPress. Version 0.0.4-soalphaithurts.
<?php
/**
* WordPress JSON API
*
* Contains the WP_JSON_Server class.
*
*******************************************************************************
* DO NOT USE THIS IN PRODUCTION UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS IS ONLY A *
* DEVELOPMENT SNAPSHOT. *
*******************************************************************************
*
* Changes so far:
*
* 0.0.4:
* - Hyperlinks now available in most constructs under the 'meta' key. At the
* moment, the only thing under this key is 'links', but more will come
* eventually. (Try browsing with a browser tool like JSONView; you should be
* able to view all content just by clicking the links.)
* - Accessing / now gives an index which briefly describes the API and gives
* links to more (also added the HIDDEN_ENDPOINT constant to hide from this).
* - Post collections now contain a summary of the post, with the full post
* available via the single post call. (prepare_post() has fields split into
* post and post-extended)
* - Post entities have dropped post_ prefixes, and custom_fields has changed to
* post_meta.
* - Now supports JSONP callback via the _jsonp argument. This can be disabled
* separately to the API itself, as it's only needed for
* cross-origin requests.
* - Internal: No longer extends the XMLRPC class. All relevant pieces have been
* copied over. Further work still needs to be done on this, but it's a start.
*
* 0.0.3:
* - Now accepts JSON bodies if an endpoint is marked with ACCEPT_JSON
*
* Todo:
* Minor:
* - Possibly send CORS headers when JSONP support is enabled
* - Make endpoints completely output independent (i.e. don't send headers
* inside the callbacks)
*
* Major:
* - Rework parts of the creation/updating of posts (sanitization, field
* names, etc)
* - Implement comment methods
* - Implement user methods
* - Implement taxonomy methods
*
* @package WordPress
* @version 0.0.4-soalphaithurts

boolean       = "true" | "false"
timezone      = quoted-string

Index

The Index entity is the root endpoint for the API server and describes the contents and abilities of the API server.

Entity

The Index entity is a JSON object of site properties. The following properties are defined for the Index entity object:

Index            = "{" index-field *( "," index-field ) "}"
index-field      = ( ( "name" ":" quoted-string )
                 | ( "description" ":" quoted-string )

Post Collection

A Post Collection entity is defined as a collection of Post entities.

Headers

The following headers are sent when a Post Collection is the main entity:

  • Link:
    • rel="item" - Each item in the collection has a corresponding Link header containing the location of the endpoint for that resource.

Entity

The Post Collection entity is a JSON list of Post entities.

Post-Collection = "[" Post *( "," Post ) "]"

Endpoints

The following endpoints return the given document with associated headers.

/: Index
/posts: Post Collection
/posts/<id>: Post
/posts/<id>/revisions: Post Collection
/posts/<id>/comments: Comment Collection
/posts/<id>/comments/<comment>: Comment

/taxonomies: Taxonomy Collection
/taxonomies/<tax>: Taxonomy
/taxonomies/<tax>/terms: Term Collection
/taxonomies/<tax>/terms/<term>: Term

/users: User Collection
/users/me: User
