Exploring the WordPress REST API
Every developer seems to have a perspective on WordPress, not all of which are complimentary. Despite this, the WordPress REST API has significantly altered perceptions by enabling the blending of WordPress with popular JavaScript frameworks like React or Vue.js.
Today's goal is to demonstrate the practical uses of the WordPress REST API and how it can enable using WordPress as a headless CMS in conjunction with WooCommerce.
Using WordPress as a headless CMS opens a realm of possibilities. Developers can now harness the power of diverse frontend frameworks, linking them to a WordPress backend for dynamic application and website development, free from PHP-generated views.
