Static JSON Export with CORS

Description

Static JSON Export with CORS is a lightweight, secure WordPress plugin designed to export your published posts, pages, or custom post types into highly-optimized static JSON files.

Feeds are generated automatically when content changes and served cleanly through a WordPress REST API endpoint (GET /wp-json/sjec/v1/feed?name=YOUR_FEED_NAME) with a customizable CORS origins whitelist.

Key Features

  • REST API Endpoint: Access generated static JSON feeds via GET /wp-json/sjec/v1/feed?name=YOUR_FEED_NAME with full CORS support.
  • Granular CORS Management: Enter multiple allowed domains (Origins) in a whitelist via the admin panel.
  • Single JSON Feed: Create a highly optimized JSON feed for your primary post type.
  • Pretty-Printed JSON: Clean and readable JSON outputs for easy debugging.
  • Custom Field Mapping: Include taxonomy terms or custom meta fields directly in the output.
  • Flexible Querying: Select targeted post types, filter by a single taxonomy, adjust output limits, and sort chronologically.
  • Value-Added Dashboard: Monitor folder write privileges, payload sizes, item counts, and preview raw JSON output.
  • GPLv2 & WordPress.org Guidelines Compliant: Fully sanitized inputs, nonce validations, and strict path traversal protection.

PRO Features Available

Unlock even more capabilities:
* Multiple JSON Feeds: Manage separate JSON endpoints for multiple post types.
* Payload Minification: Shrink JSON payload sizes for lightning fast API responses.
* Advanced Taxonomy Filtering: Use AND/OR logic to combine multiple taxonomy constraints.
* Standalone High-Speed API Endpoint: Serve static JSON directly via api.php bypassing the WordPress core bootstrap entirely for sub-millisecond response times under heavy traffic.
* Webhook Integration: Automatically notify external services or trigger rebuilds whenever post data is updated.

Installation

  1. Upload the static-json-export-cors folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, or upload the ZIP file directly via the WordPress admin area.

FAQ

How are feeds served via REST API?

The plugin registers a custom WordPress REST API endpoint (GET /wp-json/sjec/v1/feed?name=YOUR_FEED_NAME) that serves the generated static JSON content with configured CORS headers attached.

Can I use it on local environments?

Yes. You can add local URLs (like http://localhost:3000) into the CORS Whitelist setting to debug integrations.
