REST API endpoints for your WordPress content. These endpoints provide machine-readable external access to your WordPress site with a clear, standards-driven interface, allowing new and innovative apps for interacting with your site. These endpoints support all of the following:
- Posts: Read and write access to all post data, for all types of post-based data, including pages and media.
- Comments: Read and write access to all comment data. This includes pingbacks and trackbacks.
- Terms: Read and write access to all term data.
- Users: Read and write access to all user data. This includes public access to some data for post authors.
- Meta: Read and write access to metadata for posts, comments, terms, and users, on an opt-in basis from plugins.
- Settings: Read and write access to settings, on an opt-in basis from plugins and core. This enables API management of key site content values that are technically stored in options, such as site title and byline.
Love your REST API, WordPress! The infrastructure says, "Let's do lunch!" but the content API endpoints say, "You're paying!"

Support the index-style permalinks (http://example.com/index.php/postName) when registering the REST API rewrite rules and within the `get_rest_url()` function. This allows sites that do not have mod_rewrite support to have almost pretty urls and have access to their REST API endpoints.
Props kraftbj.

Move the REST API JSONP callback validation check into a separate function named `wp_check_jsonp_callback()`. This allows plugins to use the built-in validation when handling JSONP callbacks.
Extremely Important Note: If you send JSONP in your custom response, make sure you prefix the response with `/**/`. This will mitigate the Rosetta Flash exploit. You should also send the `X-Content-Type-Options:nosniff` header, or even better, use the REST API infrastructure.
Props rmccue.

This allows sites to use an admin area over HTTPS with the front end over HTTP, and not end up with a cross-protocol problem when using the REST API URL in the admin area.

Baby API was born at 2.8KLOC on October 8th at 2:30 UTC. API has lots
of growing to do, so wish it the best of luck.
Thanks to everyone who helped along the way:
