[oEmbed] oEmbed provides a JSON representation of a resource to consumers, to allow them to embed it in their own page. #embeds

oEmbed

The resource can be specified as one of the following types:

  • photo - an embeddable image
  • video - an embeddable video
  • link - embeddable information about a URL
  • rich - embeddable HTML, usually using an iframe to provide styled and interactive content

[UTF-8] Why UTF-8 is great. #utf8 #I18n #unicode

UTF-8

Some great information from UTF-8: The Secret of Character Encoding.

Meta tag

I've used the charset meta tag with a UTF-8 value for a long long time and now it's the default in HTML5.

While this can also be achieved on the server, the meta tag is an easy and human-readable way to instruct the browser to use UTF-8.

[Asset caching policy] The Cache-Control header is the most important header to set as it effectively ‘switches on’ caching in the browser. #caching #performance

Asset caching policy

Disclaimer

This content is paraphrased from Increasing Application Performance with HTTP Cache Headers. It's how I learn.

Summary

HTTP caching occurs when the browser stores local copies of web resources for faster retrieval the next time the resource is required. As your application serves resources it can attach cache headers to the response specifying the desired cache behavior.

Autoloading and Namespaces

composer.json

This object instructs Composer to automatically require PHP files inside src, which use the namespace WPDTRT_Plugin:
