OData Version 4.0

OData Version 4.0 (Open Data Protocol) is a standardized way for software systems to share and access data over the internet reliably and efficiently. It defines common formats and protocols for querying, updating, and managing data across diverse platforms, applications, and services. Think of it as a universal language that different software can use to communicate data seamlessly, making it easier for developers to build applications that connect to various data sources without custom coding. OData ensures data exchange is consistent, scalable, and easily integrable in enterprise and cloud environments.
