The WordPress REST API is coming in WordPress 4.1. If you’ve ever wanted to build mobile apps on the API, create fluid and interactive themes, or even export your data, the API will change the way you think about building these features. Access posts, users, media, or terms, and edit them directly through the same API. If you can make a HTTP request, you already know how to use the API.

This talk will introduce you to the current state of the API and show you how you can start using it today. The talk will also discuss the future of the API, and our plans for core integration and beyond.
