JSON Basic Authentication

This plugin implements a Basic Authentication handler for a site's JSON API. It is designed for developers and testers who need a simple method to authenticate API requests during local development, debugging, or staging environment testing.

• Basic Authentication Support: Adds a standard HTTP Basic Authentication layer to the JSON API, allowing clients to send credentials with each request.
• Development Focus: The plugin's documentation explicitly states it is for development and debugging purposes, highlighting that it should not be used in production without SSL security.
• Client Compatibility: Works with common HTTP clients and libraries, providing example code snippets for tools like cURL and JavaScript's WPAPI client.
• Simple Installation: Installs as a standard plugin, requiring activation through the site's admin interface to become functional.
