Is there a way to get schema information from a RESTful web service? For example, a soap service has WSDL that we can look at and create any proxy classes. I was wondering if there is a way to get that information from a restful web service.

In general, no. REST doesn't include metadata about its payload - that's not the purpose of this architectural style.
Such metadata shouldn't be needed if the web service is truly REST conformant.
You will need to look at the payloads and documentation.

@KO. - What about it? Looks like it fits your needs, though standard, it ain't. – Oded Jan 07 '13 at 15:05
