OData

OData (Open Data Protocol) is a standardized way for applications to communicate and share data over the internet. It uses common web technologies like HTTP (the foundation of web communication) and data formats such as JSON or XML to enable clients (like apps or websites) to query, retrieve, and manipulate data from servers. Think of it as a common language that allows different systems to understand and interact with data seamlessly, making integration easier and more flexible across diverse platforms and services.
