Ember Data - WordPress Adapter
This project is intended as a basis for combining Ember as a frontend for a WordPress backend. You can use it as the starting point for a WordPress theme, or a completely standalone app that just retrieves data from WordPress.
Background
This project utilises two key developments from Ember and WordPress. Firstly the ability to write a custom adapter for Ember Data, in this case it is possible to use the DS.RESTAdapter as-is and simply extend DS.RESTSerializer.
Secondly the WP REST API which is currently being developed as a plugin with a view to be be merged to core in the next major release (4.1).
Currently this requires the Canary build of Ember Data and the latest WP-API, whilst this does not preclude production usage, you should be aware that both are undergoing active development and the API may change quickly.
Routes
Currently the following routes are supported:
/post/:post_slug
/page/:page_slug
/user/:user_slug
/tag/:tag_slug
/category/:category_slug

You will need Node.js installed to run the build script and a WordPress installation with the WP API plugin activated.
