How far from WSDLs and SOAP we’ve come.

I applaud this effort. I hate that we’re back to where this feels necessary. I’m not sure if there’s anything better.

JSON sure felt better than XML. But did we abstract too far, or did we just get so much better bandwidth and processors, that enriched data exploration is just insignificantly possible?

I read the use-cases for this, but I feel like: if you’ve gone so far to where this is helpful/useful, have you just gone too far?
