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!"

Introduce two new filters: `rest_request_before_callbacks` and `rest_request_after_callbacks` to
assist REST API middleware plugins to perform pre-callback and cleanup hooks such as `switch_to_blog()`
or caching implementations.

Give developers the opportunity to reject incoming data without using the validation callback. It also enables us to do sanitization and validation in one function in instances where this could be useful.

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.

Also use 'back-compat' in some inline comments where backward compatibility is the subject and shorthand feels more natural.
Note: 'backwards compatibility/compatibile' can also be considered correct, though it's primary seen in regular use in British English.

Known functions, classes, and methods are now auto-linked in Code Reference pages following #meta1483.
Note: Hook references are still linked via inline `@see` tags due to the unlikelihood of reliably matching for known hooks based on a RegEx pattern.

In [36533] CURIEs were added to the API responses for the link relation URIs, this makes
it a lot easier for clients to look up links by relation. That patch was functional, but
broke on edge cases such as embedded responses and collection items with links in the items.
This patch instead takes a less obtrusive approach by creating a new `get_compact_response_links`
to compliment `get_response_links` making both old and new functionality available.
Also the regex for curie relations has been relaxed to `.+` as rel names can have any uri-valid charector in it.

If a validation_callback returns a WP_Error it should give the same response format as if it returned `false`. This makes programmatically reading the validation errors better.
Props bradyvercher for initial patch.

Previously, the API returned a list of errors, as WP_Error can hold multiple
error codes internally. This isn't a particularly common use case, and it
makes handling errors on the client side more complex than it needs to be.

of growing to do, so wish it the best of luck.
