would something that's 100% OSS be smarter for people just getting started? Swagger jumps to mind. :-) https://github.com/wordnik/swagger-core/wiki/Downloads (Node inspector recently added for command-line happiness.)

Json Schema is pretty good at describing data coming through JSON. But describing (REST) APIs requires more. For example a standard way to describe API endpoints with parameters and response types, errors, related models, default/allowable values etc. This was what the OP was referring to and this is what Swagger is trying to do. The Swagger Spec is here with some more details on whats required in addition to JSON Schema to document APIs: https://github.com/wordnik/swagger-core/wiki/API-Declaration Incidentally model/data specifications in swagger spec does map closely with json schema.

swagger (http://developers.helloreverb.com/swagger/) has been doing whats proposed here. By describing your APIs with swagger-spec you get a beautifully documented APIs, code generation of client libraries and some more stuff: https://github.com/wordnik/swagger-core/wiki/Downloads

This is essentially trying to solve the same problem as Swagger. Swagger is "a specification and complete framework implementation for describing, producing, consuming, and visualizing RESTful web services" [1]. Check out the spec on GitHub here [2].

Have you seen Swagger? https://github.com/wordnik/swagger-core/ I'm going to try to get this working for JSON Blob API's documentation over the weekend.

We tried out enunciate as well. It's good but didn't quite fit our needs... You can run swagger with the built-in support via swagger-core/swagger-jaxrs. Play 1.4/2.0 support is there as well and a number of folks are creating support for other server frameworks. See the samples for integration: https://github.com/wordnik/swagger-core/tree/master/samples But to be honest, you can run the whole system with static files and zero server integration. The downside of using javadocs is that you need to expose sourcecode/docs.
