WordPress API Client
====================

[](#wordpress-api-client)

This client software is the reference implementation of an API client for the [JSON REST API](https://github.com/rmccue/WP-API) and also the independent testing suite for the API.

The API client library, testing software is [ISC Licensed](https://github.com/rmccue/WP-API-Client/blob/master/LICENSE) (similar to the new BSD license) and depends only on [Requests](http://requests.ryanmccue.info/), which is bundled with the client.

(Eventually, this will use Composer instead, and allow using other client libraries.)

Running the Tests
-----------------

[](#running-the-tests)

To run the API test suite, simply execute the following:

```
$ cd tests/
$ phpunit

```

You can also add `Client` or `Server` after `phpunit` to test a single component from these.
