Everything about RAML (software)

YAML-based language for describing RESTful APIs

RESTful API Modeling Language (RAML) is a YAML-based language for describing static APIs. It provides all the information necessary to describe APIs on the level 2 of the Richardson Maturity Model. Although designed with RESTful APIs in mind, RAML is not capable of describing APIs that obey all constraints of REST. It encourages reuse, enables discovery and pattern-sharing and aims for merit-based emergence of best practices. Wikipedia →
