Calling `register_rest_route()` too early in the loading process has the potential to cause some unintentional problems and pitfalls. Because `register_rest_route()` calls `rest_get_server()` (which creates the `WP_REST_Server` instance), calling the function directly and/or before `rest_api_init` should be discouraged.
For example, if `register_rest_route ()` is called on `init`, the REST API server instance is set up (and all functions added to `rest_api_init` and other related hooks are invoked), even though the current request may not be a REST request. Also, if `register_rest_route()` is called even earlier (say, in an `mu-plugin` file), required endpoints may be missing since normal plugins have not yet been loaded and have not had a chance to register their own action hooks.
This adds a `_doing_it_wrong()` notice the first time `register_rest_route()` is called before `rest_api_init` in a request to encourage best practices for registering REST API routes.

WordPress has historically often used code like `preg_split( '/[\s,]+/', $var )` to parse a string of comma-separated values into an array. However, this approach was causing an empty string to not be parsed into an empty array as expected, but rather into an array with the empty string as its sole element.
This was among other areas causing problems in the REST API where passing an empty request parameter could cause that request to fail because, instead of it being ignored, that parameter would be compared against the valid values for it, which typically do not include an empty string.

- Adds `WP_REST_Autosaves_Controller` which extends `WP_REST_Revisions_Controller`.
- Autosaves endpoint is registered for all post types except attachment because even post types without revisions enabled are expected to autosave.
- Because setting the `DOING_AUTOSAVE` constant pollutes the test suite, autosaves tests are run last. We may want to improve upon this later.
Also, use a truly impossibly high number in User Controller tests. The number `100`, (or `7777` in `trunk`), could be valid in certain test run configurations. The `REST_TESTS_IMPOSSIBLY_HIGH_NUMBER` constant is impossibly high for this very reason.
Finally, Skip Autosaves controller test for multisite. There's a PHP 5.2 edge case where paths calculated differently, possibly caused by differing version of PHPUnit.

In r41727 the ability to sanitise and validate objects from JSON schema was added, with a whitelist approach. It was decided we should pass through all non-registered properties to reflect the behaviour of the root object in register_rest_route. To prevent arbitrary extra data via setting objects, we force additionalProperties to false in the settings endpoint.

Allows REST API consumers to specify the specific fields needed in their application code, whitelisting those fields and omitting all others from the returned JSON response object.
This permits applications that only need for example the ID and title of posts to avoid having to transfer the entire rendered post content over the wire alongside the desired fields.
While this whitelisting has no affect on the queries run when preparing the response, it can yield significant reductions in the bandwidth required to transfer a response payload for simple applications.

When pretty permalinks are disabled, the web server will internally forward requests to `index.php`. Unfortunately, nginx only forwards HTTP/1.0 methods: `PUT`, `PATCH`, and `DELETE` methods will return a 405 error.

Only set these headers if (1) `WP_DEBUG` is enabled and (2) headers have not already been sent.
Previously, this code could generate warnings by trying to set a header after response data has already been sent. This happens when code attached to the `shutdown` filter calls a deprecated function, for example.
Also, these headers are unlikely to be useful in the majority of cases; let's only send them if `WP_DEBUG` is enabled.

When hitting the index, untrailingslashit() would make the REST route empty, which would then use the fallback inside WP_REST_Server. This isn't a problem most of the time, but WP_REST_Server contains a fallback to PATH_INFO. Combined with PATH_INFO permalinks, this would give a 404 on the API index, as it attempts to look up a route for "/wp-json/".

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!"

An OPTIONS request was incorrectly returning an "Accept" header which
was a typo of "Allow". This meant Accept was showing "GET, POST" for example,
however it was also not running the permission checks on the endpoints.
Instead, the correct route needs to be set on the request object, which means
the normal handling for the Allow header will kick in. This technically
breaks backwards compatibility, however given the value of Accept was also wrong
then this should not be an issue.
