[uf-rest] WADL: Web application description language

[Dr. Ernie Prabhakar]

Hi all,

One perennial topic of interest on this list is whether it is  
possible to create a RESTful analogue of WSDL: a machine-parseable  
description of the site's API.

http://microformats.org/wiki/rest/description

Perhaps the best contender I've seen to date is WADL:

https://wadl.dev.java.net/

I must confess that I'd prefer something more concise and HTML-ish,  
but if nothing else WADL seems to thoroughly capture the problem  
space.  Anyone have any direct experience with it?

I have to mention Web application description language (WADL)
https://wadl.dev.java.net/

I do not know if you have seen it but I think that it is a restFull  
approach of describing resources.
It helps me a lot!
