Odata Notes

OData provides an open standard for APIs that allows resources to be easily consumed by any application. SAP NetWeaver Gateway acts as an interface between SAP and non-SAP applications, enabling connectivity via open standards like OData. It supports CRUDQ operations and uses RESTful architecture with HTTP requests and responses that return data in XML or JSON format. The data model in OData defines the entity types, entity sets, and associations that determine the data structure when communicating between backend and frontend systems.
