In reply to Samuel "Otto" Wood.

I think the best example for Jeffro might be to see the code to get and update post meta via XML-RPC vs code to do the exact same things via REST.

Sadly I don't have a handy example, but bet someone does.

It's not that either chunk of code be easily readable by a non-programmer, but I think it'll be obvious how much simpler and more readable by REST example is.
