Create WCF Json/RESTful service client proxy

Question

here is my question: Is there any tool to generate one service client proxy when the service is Rest/Json? the service is WCF, and one of the clients is WPF and i need this in order to create the tests with similar code than I test the classic Soap WCF services.

If not What is the best way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance

No, there isn't simply because there is no metadata with RESTful protocols such as you get the WSDL from SOAP.

If the service is WCF, you can use the svcutil.exe util to create a client even if you're using JSON or REST as the binding.

The example you pointed to does not use svcutil to generate the client proxies. It manually creates a class based on ClientBase<IServiceContract>. Either way client proxies are a terrible idea for consuming RESTful services.
