<h3>Short Description</h3>
<ul>
<li>Easily talk with the WordPress REST-API to access and display your WordPress (model) data without 
rest-authentication errors when creating Javascript Themes for consistent views by all users/clients accessing 
your WordPress site.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Description and Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>
We chose the bundled node-wpapi isomorphic Javascript client, because it is the simplest way to get up and running 
quickly to display live website data in your installed WordPress website, using a Javascript-controlled Theme or Plugin
</li>
<li>
The WEB Landscape is changing. Today, we can use Javascript to build WordPress Themes. WordPress becomes our Model, 
which we can theme with Javascript using the WordPress REST-API.
</li>
<li>
This plugin was developed to make life easy for web developers who which to create full-fledged 
Javascript WordPress Themes OR Javascript-PHP WordPress Themes using a Javascript Framework/Library like: 
jQuery, React, OpenUI5, et.c. for use in a WordPress installation with the wpapi.js rest-client.
</li>
<li>
It relies on the node-wpapi isomorphic javascript client to access the WP REST-API. The problem with accessing 
the REST-API using javascript-clients is the headache of authentication issues and private data access, which can 
hamper fluid display of the web-page, leading to rest-errors when using Javascript to display the data. 
This plugin works under the hood and makes the javascript-client object, ‘wp’ that interfaces with the WP REST-API 
globally accessible for direct and easy use in a javascript(.js) file under the scope of a WordPress installation.
</li>
<li>
It handles three authentication use cases: admin user, non-admin user and for a client from inside a WP installation. 
Say your WordPress website url is e.g: http://talker-test.com or http://localhost:8080 
WordPress switches to Cookie WP Authentication for switched to when an administrator is currently logged in to 
the WordPress installation. Basic WP-Authentication is switched to when a Client accesses your WordPress website 
When an authenticated non-admin user, like an Author or Subscriber is currently logged in to your website, 
it displays data using Basic WP-Authentication.
</li>
<li>
We then make the WPAPI global as a globally scoped javascript object, wp, 
for use in a WordPress Installation to talk with the WP REST-API on the go.
</li>
<li>
So, with added ease, you can start building your next Javascript Themes for WordPress, or accessing the WP REST-API 
So start coding and talking with the WordPress REST-API and display consistent, unhindered data, 
as you permit to all your clients, and users.
</li>
<li>
See Demo WP Installation that shows how this plugin is used to display live website data from the WordPress REST-API 
In it we created a sample JS-controlled WordPress theme using jQuery and the ‘wp’ object provided by our bundled 
javascript client, which our plugin has made globally scoped and authenticated.
</li>
<li>

of the node-wpapi javascript client at wp-api.org/node-wpapi
