Simple but great plugin. It allowed me to add everything I needed from my CPT fields
to the WP rest API v2. Thank you guys!

This is truly excellent. It makes adding fields to the Rest API easy. However, there’s
the slight issue that it slows down every. single. page. by 3-5 seconds because 
it makes a terribly slow SQL query on EVERY admin page. So I use it when I need 
it. Then I quickly deactivate it.
