#1 Check if the following values are boolean or boolean-like 

var_dump( rest_is_boolean( true ) );        // true
var_dump( rest_is_boolean( false ) );       // true
var_dump( rest_is_boolean( 'false' ) );     // true
var_dump( rest_is_boolean( 'true' ) );      // true
var_dump( rest_is_boolean( 'FalSe' ) );     // true
var_dump( rest_is_boolean( 'trUe' ) );      // true
var_dump( rest_is_boolean( 1 ) );           // true
var_dump( rest_is_boolean( 0 ) );           // true
var_dump( rest_is_boolean( '1' ) );         // true
var_dump( rest_is_boolean( '0' ) );         // true

// The the next return false
var_dump( rest_is_boolean( 'trueFalse' ) ); // false
var_dump( rest_is_boolean( 'anyString' ) ); // false
var_dump( rest_is_boolean( 1.0 ) );         // false
var_dump( rest_is_boolean( 2 ) );           // false
