React Native and WordPress by example

As mobile developers, integrating data source is a very important aspect of building mobile apps. Having an organized data source ready for integration would make development easy and also reduce the time taken to build and develop mobile apps. WordPress as a back-end can be very effective if you're building mobile applications that have a lot of consumable content such as a mobile application for a blog, e-commerce website, e.t.c. It can provide standard endpoints to return the data you need and also provides a standard documentation for all the endpoints you'll require.
