One route I’m exploring is [using Theme JSON to control the features of the Nav block](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/34784). My proposal does two things that I’d like some input on: 5. 1. opens up `theme.jsonJSON JSON, or JavaScript Object Notation, is a minimal, readable format for structuring data. It is used primarily to transmit data between a server and web application, as an alternative to XML.` for extensibility by developers via **hooksHooks In WordPress theme and development, hooks are functions that can be applied to an action or a Filter in WordPress. Actions are functions performed when a certain event occurs in WordPress. Filters allow you to modify certain functions. Arguments used to hook both filters and actions look the same./ filters**. 2. allows `theme.json` to control features that are unique to particular blocks (as opposed to things that are common across all blocks such as spacing). 6.
