If you ever tried to read an actual WSDL file, you'd have noticed it was not great.

Yes, having an API type declaration is really important. And yes, somehow a lot of people just don't use those things. But the WSDL was one of the worst standards for that in all times. (And also, it inherited all of the shitness from XML, even the allowing non-deterministic processing and side effects while reading the file.)

Anyway, I'm not really disagreeing on your main point. Read the JSON Schema docs, people, use it.
