WordPress/wp-includes/js/api-request.js

/**
 * Thin jQuery.ajax wrapper for WP REST API requests.
 *
 * Currently only applies to requests that do not use the `wp-api.js` Backbone
 * client library, though this may change.  Serves several purposes:
 *
 * - Allows overriding these requests as needed by customized WP installations.
 * - Sends the REST API nonce as a request header.
 * - Allows specifying only an endpoint namespace/path instead of a full URL.
 *
 * @since 4.9.0
 * @since 5.6.0 Added overriding of the "PUT" and "DELETE" methods with "POST".
 *              Added an "application/json" Accept header to all requests.
 * @output wp-includes/js/api-request.js
