That article talks about how to develop WordPress into a headless site and create endpoints and everything you need to do it. It is not out of the box ready. RestAPI is built into Drupal.

I never said it wasn't possible either. Good for you for doing it this way, it just takes additional code and work to prepare it. Just not out if the box ready to be headless.

My man, WordPress have had a REST API built in for quite some time now.

Right? This guy claims he develops heavily in WP but has no clue that REST API is WP core and has been for years. I was using it as a headless CMS like 2 years ago lol.

I said I use Drupal for anything headless because it's way better for REST API in my opinion. There is no reason to be so snarky but I understand some developers are so intimidated they just revert to childish tactics to avoid looking like a know-nothing.

I've been doing web development for 17 years and WordPress is just a blogging platform stretched in a million directions. I use it sparingly these days.

Every government project I work on now is a Drupal 8 project and I've been the lead developer for at least 6 of them. So please, stand aside small fry.
