It categorizes a Web API into four levels (from 0 to 3) with each higher level corresponding to a more complete adherence to REST design. The next level also contains all the characteristics of the previous one. [4] [5] Other classification systems for Web API services design also exist, such as CoHA and WS 3. [3]
REST, or Representational State Transfer, describes a series of architectural constraints that exemplify how the web's design emerged. [1] Various concrete implementations of these ideas have been created throughout time, but it has been difficult to discuss the REST architectural style without blurring the lines between actual software and the ...

The RESTful Service Description Language (RSDL) is a machine- and human-readable XML description of HTTP-based web applications (typically REST web services). [1]The language (defined by Michael Pasternak during his work on oVirt RESTful API) allows documenting the model of the resource(s) provided by a service, the relationships between them, and operations and the parameters that must be ...
RESTful API Modeling Language (RAML) is a YAML-based language for describing static APIs (but not REST APIs). [2] It provides all the information necessary to describe APIs on the level 2 of the Richardson Maturity Model .
