in thread JSON WebService Description with PERl

The current programm consists of CRUD REST operations for different resources.

1: But in order to have these Operations or Calls documented in whatever wiki (current state) we would like to have some kind of a META Call which generates a service description for the current instance. The service documents itself

2: It would be nice to have a client-side which generates a dynamic CLI from the above fetched service description

    Here is an idea, if you've got a model, you can write a generator, see UML to Perl

    Say you created models using Moose (or one of the alternatives) and they use MooseX::Params::Validate ... and now you're providing a RESTful interface to these classes.

    Well, grab UML::Class::Simple and generate some uml, then you feed said uml through ummf to generate whatever you're after, a Joose based validator and jQuery interface to your RESTful api, a perl interface to your RESTful api ...

    But IMHO, JSON really doesn't need a web service description language other than english

    It turns out JSON-RPC-1.1 is contemptible :) http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/JSON::RPC::Common#RANT
