OData is an acronym of Open Data Protocol, as the name
suggests OData is a protocol to standardize the way data is shared between
various applications. The OData Protocol aims in standardizing data access
between applications in such a way that any application can read data from any
provider without the knowledge of the underlying storage format.
OData provides a standard data model to represent the data and a standard protocol which can be used by client applications to request data from the provider. To standardize the process of data sharing, OData uses some of the standard web technologies HTTP, ATOM and JSON for data sharing.
