<p>JSON API allows you to retrieve and manipulate WordPress content using HTTP requests. There are three main goals:</p> <ol> <li>Provide a simple, consistent external interface</li> <li>Create a stable, understandable internal implementation</li> <li>Enable new types of extensions for WordPress</li> </ol> <p>This plugin was created at <a href="http://moma.org/">The Museum of Modern Art</a> for the weblog <a href="http://moma.org/explore/inside_out">Inside/Out</a>, which is served from Ruby on Rails. Instead of reimplementing the site templates as a WordPress theme, we opted for a Rails front-end that displays content served from a WordPress back-end. JSON API provides the necessary interface for retrieving content and accepting comment submissions.</p>
