I'm running a study on the Impact of Usage Examples on REST API Documentation. Any software engineer with 1+ years of REST API experience and no prior experience with WordPress REST API willing to lend me some of your time to carry out a study on API documentation? This is for an academic project and your help would be appreciated. The study involves using a REST API documentation to perform API tasks on a browser. You’ll need internet and a computer. Your time will help us understand the impact of usage examples on REST API client developer productivity and in turn help you produce better REST API documentation.

Visit https://supportpayment.apple.com/app and open your developer window on the browser. You'll have a rare opportunity to see all the debug code and a bunch of petty errors on your console.

This is AngularJS code in production. If you're wondering how it actually works in prod, this could be a reference, either in a good or a bad way.

The errors I'm seeing are looking like a lot of string interpolation errors, and in error handling. The funny thing is, the error notifier module itself has an error in the URL generation, so the error is actually never sent to server.

Ran into a weird bug because of this:

> x = "a"

=> "a"

> x.split('*')

=> ["", "a"]

Expected => ["", "a", ""] or ["a"]

It feels bizarre. Anyone has an explanation for this?
