Parse JSON input from query parameters for Abilities API

WordPress 6.9's Abilities API REST controller doesn't parse JSON strings from query parameters in GET requests. This filter fixes that by detecting JSON strings in the 'input' parameter and parsing them into objects/arrays.

Method of the class: Abilities{}

No Hooks.

Returns

Mixed.

Usage

$Abilities = new Abilities();
$Abilities->parse_abilities_json_input( $response, $handler, $request );

$response(mixed) (required)

Response object.

$handler(array) (required)

Route handler info.

$request(WP_REST_Request) (required)

Request object.
