If you have a service that requires JSON and you wish to map other data to it's call or return values, then it's useful to describe what the service consumes and produces in some way so that you can graphically create a mapping. With XML you can do this by having the XSD. However, even with XML this is a problem with many REST services as they don't have a means of providing the schemas.
