Does salesforce officially support any of modern web services description formats (e.g. wadl, raml, swagger)?

I would like to consume salesforce web services via REST Api and I need Api description in any of those formats to generate a client.
So far I only find some none official incomplete examples
  https://github.com/paypal/wadl-library/blob/master/salesforce/salesforce-wadl.xml - incomplete
  or https://anypoint.mulesoft.com/apiplatform/popular#/portals/apis/8111/versions/8305 - does not work actually
and https://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api_rest/Content/resources_list.htm but it's not something that can be used by any of known tools.
As far as I understand salesforce does not support those formats (maybe they have plans to support them?) but maybe I am missing somethng.
Does anybody know any other sources?

Hey - I am also facing the same situation. Did you find a way to generate WADL in salesforce?

Hi Alexel,

Any luck on WADL, This is a burning issue for me now. My client has provided WADL file but I don't know how to consume/Import in salesforce. Kindly let me know, if you have any info on this.

Many Thanks,
Saleembaba Mohammed.

There are many advantages to making a Swagger file available, especially to developers of the API.
BTW, while Salesforce sleeps on this, GraphQL has appeared on the scene to be a even better alternative.
