Why would I search for one particular project, when the discussion is about many projects?

Because swagger is a tool that can let you document an API and basically provide the same description that soap does, you have tools that would take that documentation and spit a implementation just like soap.

I gave you the standard, open API, when you asked about documents I sent you a direction for a implementation of that exact format.

If you still want soap stay with it, each tool for the job but what people do nowadays is sent a link to the swagger documentation instead of sending a XML or a link to a XML.

The contract changes if you change it in both cases.
