WP REST API Cache (based on JP REST API CACHE)

Soft-expiring, server-side cache for the WordPress REST API (WP REST).

Utilises the WP-TLC-Transients library. Requires WordPress and the WordPress REST API v2.

Essentially implements JP REST API CACHE and WP-TLC-Transients as a WordPress plugin not requiring any other PHP dependencies (namely composer).

The plugin attaches to the rest_pre_dispatch filter in the WP REST API and includes two filters of its own:

• wp_rest_cache_skip_cache can be used to filter whether a given endpoint/method should skip the cache or not (defaults to false).
• wp_rest_cache_cache_time can be used to change the caching timeout for the plugin (defaults to 360 seconds).

Most of the work in this was done by either Josh Pollock or Mark Jaquith, I just put it together and tweaked it a bit.
