We have a WADL Importer https://github.com/luckymarmot/Paw-WADLImporter for RESTful APIs, so maybe that's not too far from WSDL – both XML at least! If that help in any way. This WADL importer is actually based on https://github.com/lucybot/api-spec-converter, and quite hacky unfortunately.

The WSDL parser will not be included in API-Flow in the foreseeable future, as the SOAP format differs too much from the other format in API-Flow.

small update:

here is a list of requirements that need to be done before we can implement a WSDL parser:

• need an XMLParser
• SOAP support
• reference model needs an XML Schema model. We can probably inspire us from https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/OpenAPI.next/versions/3.0.md#xmlObject

Once we have this, we can also probably do a WSDL serializer though. (quick reminder that WSDL is actually independent from SOAP, and can describe APIs that use http)

Any thoughts on this? It's been more than 2 years.

I agree, I still work with companies that use this old format. It looks like there is still some interest in this feature, at least.
