<p>WP Ajax Query allows you to query your WordPress database using the same query paramaters you would use for WP_Query, and return a JSON respresentation of the query results. This allows developers to easily interface with WordPress without having to relearn a new API.</p>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<p>The Ajax Query interface would be available at http://example.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=query</p>
<p>A sample jQuery request would be like:<br />
    $.get(ajaxurl, { action: ‘query’ }, function () { }, ‘json’);</p>
<p>Querying for a post:<br />
    $.get(ajaxurl, { action: ‘query’, p: 1 }, function () { }, ‘json’);</p>
<p>JSON results:<br />
    {<br />
      “id”: 1,<br />
      “type”: ‘post’,<br />
      “title”: “Hello World”,<br />
      “permalink”: “http:\/\/example.com\/?p=1”<br />
    }</p>
<p>Query a category:<br />
    $.get(ajaxurl, { action: ‘query’, cat: 1 }, function () { }, ‘json’);</p>
<p>JSON results:<br />
    {<br />
      “id”: 1<br />
      “type”: “category”,<br />
      “permalink”: “http:\/\/example.com\/?cat=1”,<br />
      “terms”: [],<br />
      “posts”: []<br />
    }</p>
<pre><code>terms and `posts` represents an array of either terms that are sub categories of the category, or posts belonging to the category.<h3>Why I Created It</h3>
</code></pre>
<p>Needed a common way to query the database for posts and taxonomies across multiple plugins, and didn’t find a suitable replacement.</p>

<p>Quick Query is a snappy interface for WP_Query that makes querying with WordPress straightforward and concise. It’s built on top of WP_Query (with a few exceptions), and provides a much more flexible and accomodating interface for querying posts.</p>
<p>Learn more about Quick Query and see code examples <a href="https://github.com/pkarl/quick-query" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.</p>
<h3>Quick Query is under heavy development!</h3>
<p>I’m writing code + testing as fast as I can to get us to a good minimum set of functionality.</p>

<h3>The Future!</h3>
<p>Besides adding interfaces for the most common querying tasks (posts, tags, authors, sorting, etc.), I’d like to build in sensitivity to ACF fields/data and possibly a caching interface.</p>
<p>Before that can happen, there are lots of tests to be written and plenty of design decisions to be made (and, of course, documentation!).</p>
<h3>Who’s this for?</h3>
<p>This is certainly geared more toward developers than designers and hobbyists. That said, It does return WP_Post objects, so all/most of the functionality you’re used to may be there.</p>
