By allowing more fine-grained validation and sanitisation of endpoint args, we can ensure the correct data is being passed to endpoints.
This can easily be extended to support new data types, such as CSV fields or objects.

A `null` value is returned in the response for any option that has a non-scalar value.
To protect clients from accidentally including the `null` values from a response object in a request, we do not allow options with non-scalar values to be updated to `null`. Without this added protection a client could mistakenly delete all options that have non-scalar values from the database.

The WP-API plugin originally used a custom method for fetching object
terms in a way that supported the object cache and also accepted all
parameters for `get_terms()`. In [38667], the internals of
`wp_get_object_terms()` were modified to use `WP_Term_Query`, thus
delivering in a native fashion the features that the API had
previously achieved bespokely.

Hiding WP_Query params under the filter key (instead of allowing them to be top-level params) was one of our biggest complaints from users of v1 of our REST API. This walks back the re-introduction of the `filter` param during Beta 15, which introduced an "inconsistent mess" and "exposing WP_Query through filter has and will continue to be difficult to support." See https://github.com/WP-API/WP-API/issues/2799.

As of WordPress 4.3 the `wp_new_comment()` function has been updated to allow the comment_agent value to be set when a comment is created. The comments API endpoint now allows the comment author's user agent to be set when creating a comment.
Also, the `readonly` property on the `author_user_agent` parameter in the schema was removed.

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!"

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.

Also use 'back-compat' in some inline comments where backward compatibility is the subject and shorthand feels more natural.

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.

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.
