<li>REST API: <code>/wp-json/xv-random-quotes/v1/quote/random</code> for custom integrations</li>

🔄 Automatic Migration
Upgrading from v1.x? The plugin automatically detects the need of migrating your existing quotes to the new Custom Post Type system. The migration is always manual to prevent race conditions and duplicate imports. When the plugin is activated or updated, an admin notice prompts the user to start the migration via a button. The migration then processes quotes in batches via AJAX.
🎨 Customization
<ul>
<li>Customize HTML wrappers (before/after quote, author, source)</li>
<li>Control author and source link formatting</li>
<li>AJAX loading messages and animations</li>
<li>Native WordPress styling or custom CSS</li>
</ul>
