Difference between Microsoft.OData.Core and Microsoft.Data.OData

Question

I am working on Web Api with OData enabled. I started working by referring to (only the relevant dlls to the question are mentioned)

Microsoft.AspN         


        

Answer 1

1. About the namespace,

---

Microsoft.Data.OData
Microsoft.Data.Edm
System.Spatial

are the implementation of OData Version 3.0 Spec. The package name on Nuget end with OData v1-3. For example: ODataLib for OData v1-3

While,

Microsoft.OData.Core
Microsoft.OData.Edm
Microsoft.Spatial

are the implementation of OData Version 4.0 Spec. The package name on Nuget don't contain version . For example: ODataLib

2. About the case-insensitive

---

Web API OData will support case-insensitive, unqualified function/action call and Enum prefix free in the 5.4 release.

Here's a simple example you can refer to.

The source codes are moved to: WebAPI OData on Github

And you can get the binary from nightly build.
