How do I generate C# code from WADL files?

Question

I am looking for a code generator than can generate C# code to access RESTful web services described by WADL files in a way similar to how wadl2java works.

Doing som searching I came across the rest-api-code-gen project on Google Code, but although the latest source does in fact support C#, the REST Describe & Compile demo site does not. (The C# button is there, but it's disabled.)

I realize I could download the source and set up my own server with the latest version, but I would prefer not to, as what I need is a command line tool and not a web application with dependencies to Google Web Toolkit. I guess I could write my own a command line tool based on the same source code, but if it has already been done, or other tools can do the job, I'd rather avoid it.

So, I'm wondering, are there any tools like that out there?

Answer 1

You could try WADL for WCF

Answer 2

I personally wouldn't bother with non-standard formats like WADL. There's too much chance of a change when they are standardized (I'm doing Sun the courtesy of assuming WADL will be standardized more than Java is).

Answer 3

Keep an eye on ABSE (http://www.abse.info) and AtomWeaver (http://www.atomweaver.com) to be released this winter. It will do what you need.
