Description
It would be great to be able to have an option to expose ACF Fields in the REST API (wp-json). The Pods framework has nice functions for this.
I'm aware of the ACF to REST API plug-in and the option to manually code this, but built-in support with granular controls would be a great addition to ACF.

Research direction
Start by tracing how ACF Fields could be exposed through the WordPress REST API (wp-json). Review the requested granular controls and compare them with the ACF to REST API plug-in and Pods framework behavior. Done means defining and implementing built-in, configurable REST exposure for groups or fields.
