At MoMA.org we're using WordPress in ways that I wasn't confident the existing XML-RPC API would support.

Basically I've been optimizing my plugin for simplicity & flexibility, not compatibility with a specification.

Yeah, I started out using the wp-json plugin, but found that our needs outstripped what it has to offer. It could be a good choice for other developers.
