The API was merged in 4.7, and the team is working on making use of it in the admin area. It would be possible to replace the admin-ajax calls with API calls directly, but that would be refactoring without real user benefit, so the team wants to work on changes that improve the UX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In that area, there are two projects: <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/WP-API\/new-list-tables\">New List Tables<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/WP-API\/live-settings\">Live Settings<\/a>. Besides that, there is the <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/WP-API\/OAuth2\">OAuth 2<\/a> project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More about that in the post \u00bb<a href=\"https:\/\/make.wordpress.org\/core\/2017\/08\/23\/rest-api-roadmap\/\">REST API Roadmap<\/a>\u00ab by Ryan McCue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PHP meeting from August 21<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The team discussed the PHP info page\u2019s sections and content again with the focus on the first section, which they call \u00bbWhy you want to read this\u00ab.
