消费者会知道 RESTful URL 是基于 OData 还是简单的 RESTful api url？ 有关系吗？

Question

If I create a simple RESTful web API in c# and one OData RESTful API and host them. Would the consumer know which one is OData based and which one is a simple one? Does it matter to them?

Answer 1

It depends how you expose them: if you let users send an ODATA query then yes the user will know. If it's under the hood then no, the customer doesn't need to know. It's a bit like asking whether your users can guess whether your datastore is SQL or something else
