OData
In this chapter, you'll learn:
The Open Data Protocol (OData) is a data access protocol for the web. OData provides a uniform way to query and manipulate data sets through CRUD operations (create, read, update, and delete).
Using ASP.NET Web API, it is easy to create an OData endpoint. You can control which OData operations are exposed. You can host multiple OData endpoints, alongside non-OData endpoints. You have full control over your data model, back-end business logic, and data layer.
Getting Started with OData (3 Tutorials)
This tutorial shows how to create a simple read-only OData endpoint using ASP.NET Web API. Along the way, you will also create a client application for the endpoint.
