Thanks for the clarification Sam.
Its good to know where the mission of the API working group starts and
stops. During the meetup discussions, my understanding was that the
working group would recommend the technologies to use while building apis
(e.g. Pecan, validation frameworks, etc) and were in the process of
looking into tools such as warlock.
Sorry, did I miss something? What meetup discussions are you referring
to? I'm not aware of any meetings of the API working group so far...

Your response clarifies that the aim of the API working group is just to
recommend on standardizing the interfaces from various API's (which I am
looking forward to) and not the libraries used to implement that interface.
I don't really think the working group has decided yet what it will be
producing, with regards to recommendations and what topics it may
provide guidance on. Heck, AFAIK, we still haven't settled on a day of
the week and time to hold IRC meetings! ;)
For stackers who are interested in different validation frameworks to
implement validation, I recommend checking out Stoplight.
Just my two cents on this particular topic, I think it's more important
to standardize ways in which our public REST APIs expose the payload
expectations and response schemas to clients. In other words... we need
to focus on methods for API discovery. Once you have standardized
resource URI, request payload, and response schema discovery, then any
number of validation libraries may be used.
Best,
