As more and more developers turn towards front-end apps and data solutions, a solid AJAX API is key to developing
a responsive, usable system of querying and modifying posts. While many solutions and plugins exist to help set up
endpoints, often times they are cumbersome or overly opinionated. Simple Posts API provides your site with an easy-to-use,
structure RESTful API with which to query, update, and delete posts. It is relatively unopinionated, so you can store and retrieve
post metadata at will without worrying about setting up fields beforehand. Additionally, it employs native WordPress Nonces
to provide a secure structure for updating your post data.
