WordPress REST API is now in the WordPress kernel!

A few hours ago, a patch for the WordPress Rest API was merged into the WordPress 4.4 kernel that is under development, and this patch is the WordPress Rest API plugin that has been featured on this site.

Does this mean that WordPress 4.4 will be the first WordPress version to support REST API, the answer is: not necessarily, this time the Rest API code merged into the WordPress kernel is only a part of the plugin, WordPress 4.4 release, there may be only a part of the Rest API functionality can be used, may not be able to use any REST API functionality. When WordPress 4.4 is released, only some of the Rest API functionality may be available, and probably not any REST API functionality. According to the current development progress of WordPress, I'm afraid that the Rest API can be fully used until WordPress 4.5.

This site has several articles is to introduce WordPress Rest API how to use, interested friends can go to see.
