Maybe the transformer should not be able to control certain fields of the objects:

id
url
published
updated

Also id is currently fetched from get_permalink, but maybe the internal guid of wordpress would make more sense, because permalinks might change.

Question: Why isn't the WordPress internal guid of each post used as the id? Currently the permalink is used, which might change and is not unique to a post.

I think the transformer should be able to control it, but it should be easier to not control it (setting defaults somehow).

regarding the id: if i read this document right, it should be a IRI, so just the internal guid isn't enough, maybe in combination with the domain

Look at the WordPress queries. Each guid can be queried directly via an http request.

I actually meant that, but did not write it that way:

"id": "http://wp.lan/?p=<guid>"

Issue has been discussed a lot with upstream developers. This won't be prioritized now, more important is to find a good permanent non-changeable id for each post, e.g. for the post type page the changeable permalink is used as guid.
