Face Your Fear: The Headless WordPress!
summary
A practical how-to that claims WordPress can serve as a true back end while any framework handles the front end and demos an Angular app that consumes a custom REST endpoint from WordPress. It shows a plugin that registers a hero custom post type, exposes a trimmed JSON payload (title, description, thumbnail, tags), and updates instantly in the Angular UI. Covers security (recommend JWT tokenization), caching/transients, SEO tradeoffs, one-to-one vs one-to-many architectures, and the extra maintenance and cost of running two apps.
