WordPress has grown to be much more than a blogging and website building tool or CMS, it has grown to be a powerful platform that can be used to power or share data with other platform using the built in and extensible REST API. It can be used as a back end platform for other front end technologies including mobile applications. With the increasing adoption of mobile technologies it is about time to use existing or new WordPress websites to power the future.
In this post we will create a Mobile App to show how to interact with the WordPress REST API to power Mobile Applications and other front end technologies. This post is a detailed version of the workshop help at WordCamp Cape Town 2018 (wcct208) on November 1, 2018.
