Generating Wrappers for REST APIs
- by Kyle
Would it be feasible to generate wrappers for REST APIs?
An earlier question asked about machine readable descriptions of RESTful services addressed how we could write (and then read) API specifications in a standardized way which would lend itself well to generated wrappers.
Could a first pass parser generate a decent wrapper that human intervention could fix up? Perhaps the first pass wouldn't be consistent, but would remove a lot of the grunt work and make it easy to flesh out the rest of the API and types. What would need to be considered?
What's stopping people from doing this? Has it already been done and my google fu is weak for the day?
