Everything you need to know about ODATA as a beginner
ODATA (Open Data Protocol) is a standard protocol for building and consuming RESTful APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) that expose data in a consistent way. It is widely used in the context of web services and data integration.
ODATA is based on the principles of Representational State Transfer (REST). It uses standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) for CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on resources, making it a RESTful protocol.
Resources in an ODATA service are identified using Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs). Each resource has a unique URI, and these URIs are used to perform operations on the data.
ODATA services provide metadata that describes the structure of the data exposed by the service. Clients can use this metadata to understand the available entities, properties, and relationships.
ODATA is utilized in ERP systems to facilitate data exchange and interoperability between different modules or components of an enterprise application.
ODATA (Open Data Protocol) plays a significant role in ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems by providing a standardized and efficient way to access, retrieve, and manipulate data.
It simplifies the way external applications and services access data within ERP systems. By providing a RESTful API with standard HTTP methods, ODATA allows developers to easily perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on ERP data. This simplification accelerates the development of applications that interact with ERP systems.
I hope you understood the overview of it and what exactly it is.
