WordPress is an open-source content management system (CMS) that powers a significant portion of websites on the internet. Its REST API enables applications to interact with WordPress sites by sending and receiving data as JSON, allowing developers to build decoupled frontends, mobile apps, and integrations in any language. The extensive plugin and theme ecosystem, block editor, and AI capabilities make it accessible for building everything from personal blogs to complex enterprise websites.
