What is use of OData protocol?

Answer»

OData is a protocol used to exchange data on web and was originally developed by Microsoft.It is based on Atom Publishing and Atom Syndication standards, which in turn, are based on XML and HTTPS(S).

The Atom publishing format doesn’t specify how Data should be encoded with in a feed therefore it fails to provide self-describing messages and fails to be fully RESTful. OData extends Atom by providing a metadata description of message.

OData provides definition for −

  • Simple types
  • Complex Types
  • Association as well as Navigation path between entries.
  • Custom behavior
  • OData also adds an alternative representation of data in the format of JSON.
