SkyVault Process Services provides a RAML file that works with popular REST API development tools.
The RAML file complements the REST API Explorer, providing a best-in-class enterprise tooling for APIs.
RESTful API Modeling Language (RAML) is a language to describe RESTful APIs. The language is YAML-based with a json format available, and it provides the constructs to describe RESTful or practically-RESTful APIs. Practically-RESTful APIs are those that do not comply with the all constraints of REST.
The language aims to promote reuse, discovery and pattern-sharing, as well as merit-based emergence of patterns. Tooling for RAML varies from modeling to software life cycle management and API description conversion. For more information about RAML, see https://raml.org.
SkyVault Process Services provides a description of all enterprise REST APIs using RAML and in json format. The description follows RAML 0.8 but can easily be converted to the recent RAML 1.0 standard by using tools like Apimatic ().

Using the RAML file for SkyVault Process Services
The SkyVault Process Services RAML file can be used with tools supporting RAML to integrate it in API life cycle of enterprise systems.
Mulesoft provides a free RAML IDE called API Workbench. This is a plugin for the free editor, Atom, that can be used to view the SkyVault Process Services RAML file. For information on how to download and setup the Atom plugin, see http://apiworkbench.com/docs.
In addition, Mulesoft provides a web-based RAML API designer that can be used to combine SkyVault Process Services REST APIs in RAML-based API and system design. See https://www.mulesoft.com/platform/api/anypoint-designer.
For a full list of tools that can use RAML throughout the entire application development life cycle see http://raml.org/projects/projects.
