If only we as an industry hadn't abandoned REST APIs none of this would be necessary.
We've known for decades that its useful for APIs to be self documented and for responses to use schemas to define the shape of the data.
XML can be verbose and I understand why people preferred JSON for ease use. Had we stuck with REST for the last 20 years we'd be way ahead on that front, though, both in syntax and tooling.
