Here is the WordPress theme I made for rendering JSON that’s currently being used on this site. This Theme allows you to use WordPress as a CMS and data provider for AJAX or other web apps. This is nice if you want to escape from the WordPress “Loop” and their Template API. Unfortunately I am not able to submit the Theme to the WordPress Theme Gallery since it is not a legitimate Theme in the sense that Themes render HTML and have widgets and other features that are required in the submission guidelines. In hindsight, I realized that this would probably have been better created as a Plugin.<\/p>\n
Speaking of Plugins, the nerds over at MOMA made a really cool “REST-style” JSON API plugin<\/a> for WordPress that supports submitting comments and handling user registrations in addition to retrieving content. Obviously their pimp hand is much stronger than mine. <\/p>\nDownload<\/h3>\n
