wsdl-explorer 0.1.0

Browse WSDL files from a terminal UI or print a friendly terminal summary.

wsdl-explorer

wsdl-explorer is a terminal tool for inspecting WSDL 1.1 documents. Give it a URL or file path and it opens a Textual browser with services, endpoints, bindings, port types, operations, messages, schema summaries, and imports. It can also print the same information as a friendly Rich terminal summary.

Install

pip install wsdl-explorer

For local development from this repository:

python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"

After installation, the wsdl-explorer command is available on PATH.

Usage

Open the TUI:

wsdl-explorer https://www.dataaccess.com/webservicesserver/NumberConversion.wso?WSDL

Print a terminal summary:

wsdl-explorer --print ./service.wsdl

Read from stdin:

curl -L "https://www.dataaccess.com/webservicesserver/NumberConversion.wso?WSDL" | wsdl-explorer --print -

TUI controls

• Arrow keys: move through the tree
• Enter: expand, select tree nodes, or open referenced schemas
• Backspace: return from an opened schema to the previous WSDL/schema view
• Mouse wheel or trackpad over the right pane: scroll details
• Ctrl+D / Ctrl+U: page the right detail pane down or up
• r: reload the WSDL
• q: quit
• F1: show a short help notification

What it shows

• WSDL document name and target namespace
• Services, ports, bindings, and SOAP addresses
• Port types and operations with input/output/fault messages
• Binding operations with SOAP actions and body use
• Messages and message parts
• Inline XML Schema counts
• WSDL import locations

Limitations

wsdl-explorer parses WSDL 1.1 documents directly from XML. It summarizes inline schemas and import references, but it does not recursively download imported WSDL or XSD files and it does not generate SOAP clients.

The Textual app follows the repo-local guidance in ~/workspace/guidelines/TEXTUAL-GUIDELINE.md: layout is in app.tcss, slow loading runs in a worker, and UI behavior is covered by a headless App.run_test() smoke test.
