Is there a good way to declare a REST API and automatically have a cli created from it? Having a simple GUI would also be great but that seems like a much less likely chance.


We don't have enough standardization for that yet.

Old enterprisey API's had things like WSDL[1] which made auto-generated clients possible. But added their own overhead and complexity. REST API's tend to be much simpler and don't have anything like this at the moment.
