RADL: RESTful API Description Language

RADL: RESTful API Description Language. Robie, J., Sinnema, R.E., & Wilde, E. In pages 181-209.
abstract bibtex

In a REST API, the server provides options to a client in the form of hypermedia links in documents, and the main thing a client needs to know is how to locate and use these links in order to use the API. The main job of a REST API description is to provide this information to the client in the context of media type descriptions. Unfortunately, most REST service description languages and design methodologies focus on other concerns instead. RESTful API Description Language (RADL) is an XML vocabulary for describing Hypermedia-driven RESTful APIs. The APIs it describes may use any media type, in XML, JSON, HTML, or any other format. The structure of a RADL description is based on media types, including the documents associated with a media type, links found in these documents, and the interfaces associated with these links. RADL can be used as a specification language or as run-time metadata to describe a service.
