Comment (by daniloercoli):

 Replying to [comment:8 maxcutler]:
 > For fields, there are two types of values: conceptual groups and
 specific fields. The conceptual groups are 'post', 'taxonomies', and
 'custom_fields'. Since the latter two require extra queries, performance-
 conscious callers can skip them by omitting them from 'fields'.
 >
 > And to give extra control, you can specify specific individual fields
 instead of/in addition to conceptual groups. So for daniloercoli's use-
 case, he could use array('title', 'dateCreated', 'post_status').

 Nice, I like this implementation because we can specify individual fields
 (what we really need in our mobile apps). At the end don't think it's so
 tedious specify every single field you need in the response, or at least
 this should make you think before ask for everything.

 > Also, should we add a filter to let plug-ins modifying the $post_data
 array after it's generated?
