This plugin creates a set of alternative REST API endpoints designed to return cleaner and more efficient JSON data from a content management system. It is built for developers who need to consume CMS data in front-end applications and want to avoid the bloat and complexity of default API responses.

• Optimized Data Payloads: The endpoints return only the data you specify. You can use parameters to exclude large fields like full post content, Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) data, or featured media objects when they are not needed for a particular request.
• Flexible Content Queries: Retrieve collections of posts, pages, or custom post types with extensive filtering options. You can filter by author, category, tag, and taxonomy terms, and control sorting and pagination.
• Extended Object Support: The API includes dedicated endpoints for menus, taxonomies, search functionality, and ACF options pages, providing structured access to common site elements beyond basic posts.
• Multiple Lookup Methods: Fetch individual items not only by ID but also by slug or path, offering more flexibility for dynamic front-end routing and data fetching.
• Standardized Response Format: Responses include useful, pre-formatted data like all available image thumbnail URLs, author information with nicename, and ISO 8601 date formats, reducing the need for additional data processing on the client side.
