## Description

Jadav REST Route Explorer is a developer utility for exploring the REST API routes
registered on a WordPress site. It provides an admin-only interface for browsing
endpoints, composing local test requests, inspecting JSON responses, generating 
cURL commands, and exporting requests as a reusable JSON API collection.

All test requests run locally through WordPress with `rest_do_request()`. The plugin
does not call external services, load remote assets, or track usage.

### External services

This plugin does not connect to any third-party or external services. REST requests
are executed locally inside WordPress using `rest_do_request()`. Export files are
generated in the administrator’s browser and are not sent anywhere by this plugin.

#### Features

 * Route catalog grouped by namespace.
 * Search and filter routes by namespace or method.
 * Request composer for GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE methods.
 * JSON editors for query parameters, body parameters, and headers.
 * Response analyzer with status code, timing, headers, and formatted JSON body.
 * cURL generation for the active request.
 * JSON API collection export for saved requests or discovered routes.
 * Browser-local request history and presets.
 * Review hints for public routes, write methods, and missing argument metadata.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `jadav-rest-route-explorer` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
 3. Open Tools > Jadav REST Route Explorer.

## FAQ

### Who can access the console?

Only users with the `manage_options` capability can open the console or run requests.

### Does this plugin make external requests?

No. Requests are executed internally through WordPress using `rest_do_request()`.

### Does this plugin store request history in the database?

No. Request history and presets are stored in the current browser’s local storage.

### Can this change site data?

Yes, if an administrator sends POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE requests to routes that
perform writes. Use draft or test content when exploring write endpoints.
