# [Plugin: JSON API] Adding extra things, i.e. "post_format," to the JSON output

 * How would I modify the great JSON API plugin to provide just one more piece of
   information about the post: specifically the post-3.1 feature of post_format,
   as in “Video,” “Link,” “Quote”?
 * Having used the older version of the plugin, I am disoriented and confused by
   the new one’s object-oriented references to a Controller. Is that something that’s
   easy to extend with a WP hook? Could someone provide an example of a hook function
   that would add in this additional bit of post information? Any help much appreciated.

 * Hi everyone, I figured out the answer and am posting it here for future developers.
 * From the manual, I had a hard time figuring out whether any of the hooks would
   be suitable for my goal, which was to get extra post information about post_format.
   So I ended up adding lines to the actual Post model: models/post.php.
 * Is there a filter or hook that would do this? Maybe by extending the Post object?
