## Description

Restico API Explorer is a developer utility designed to catalog, document, and test
your WordPress REST API endpoints. Instead of switching between WordPress and external
API clients like Postman or Insomnia, you can explore all registered routes directly
within the WordPress dashboard.

### Features

 * **Interactive Catalog**: Automatically lists all registered endpoints grouped
   by namespace.
 * **Request Composer**: Send GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE requests directly
   to your routes.
 * **Auto-filled Parameters**: Inspect and automatically structure query and body
   parameters.
 * **cURL Generation**: Instantly compile your configured request into a ready-to-
   run cURL command.
 * **Postman Export**: Export requests into standard Postman Collections (v2.1) 
   for easy sharing and collaboration.
 * **Response Analyzer**: Visualize formatted JSON bodies, response headers, status
   codes, and execution metrics.

### Who can access the REST API Explorer?

Only users with the `manage_options` capability (typically Administrators) can access
the explorer dashboard or make requests through the AJAX helpers.

### Does it make external requests?

No, all requests are executed locally within the WordPress system via `rest_do_request()`,
ensuring zero data leakage and maintaining absolute privacy.

### 1.0.1

 * Updated request body handling to remain empty by default instead of pre-filling
   blank schema placeholders.
 * Add plugin action link

### 1.0.0

 * Initial release. Standard compliance refactoring.
