#Entity Rest Extra

Extra Rest resources to enable access to entities configuration via Rest Resource

The following resources help to get admin information about Drupal 8 to be used by external implementation i.e Headless Drupal.

This idea was suggested as a patch to Drupal 8 Core more information at https://www.drupal.org/node/2355291#comment-9241689
