 > Consider adding Gutenberg block data to the post endpoints - so when
 retrieving a post via the REST API you could get the block data as part of
 the content object.
 >
 > This provides a way to get the data/content of each block of a
 Gutenberg-built page from the front end. This would be very useful for
 building component based front ends, because the components could map one-
 to-one with gutenberg blocks. With these endpoints, an App could easily
 get the data it needs to render each component. This might also provide a
 patch for a standard component library matching Gutenberg blocks.

 > POC PR for this: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/2649
