Simple JSON API for automation and integration. Common endpoints:

* Website/user/package management endpoints
* Firewall and backup control
**Example:**
```bash
curl -X POST http://your-server:8090/api/listChildDomainsJson \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"adminUser":"your_admin","adminPass":"your_pass"}'
```
**Sample response:**
```json
[
{
"parent_site": "example.com",
"domain": "sub.example.com",
"path": "/home/example.com/public_html/sub",
"ssl": 1,
"php_version": "8.1",
"ip_address": "192.168.1.100"
}
]
