[dba-VB] FYI: Microsoft embracing REST, ATOM and JSON by Open Data Protocol (OData)

Hi Francisco,

Thank you for your reply.
I'm following (since yesterday) one of ObjectiveC-related project on CodePlex - http://odataobjc.codeplex.com/, which was moved to https://github.com/OData/OData4ObjC
Is it different from yours?

Don't mention it,  that's Chris Sells to thank :)

Thank you.

First,
  Thanks for the quick demo, I'm not moving along in ObjC this quick (yet) but I am working off of the userguide here, which is the opensource client from MS... it moved from their codeplex and is now hosted on github, but nonethe less the guide looks straightforward, I'll have time on saturday/sunday to put my demo together, again thanks for supplying a sample service :)

 Hi Gustav at all --

Just wanted to finish my first try of oData web services consumption on positive note and applied KISS-principle by writing a tiny oData client app - and I have got some progress here in consuming sample oData (?) service from Chris Sells article:

http://services.odata.org/Northwind/Northwind.svc

You can do the same - just:

1. Create VS2010 console application project - ConsoleApplication1
2. Add Service Reference to http://services.odata.org/Northwind/Northwind.svc and call it TestService
3. Copy & paste, compile, build, and run code from P.S. of this message - and you'll get the following test output:

5. Buchanan Steven - Sales Manager
1. Davolio Nancy - Sales Representative
9. Dodsworth Anne - Sales Representative
7. King Robert - Sales Representative
3. Leverling Janet - Sales Representative
4. Peacock Margaret - Sales Representative
6. Suyama Michael - Sales Representative

Easy? Yes, it's.

.NET 'magic' makes all the dirty work for you to parse web query ATOM result of

http://services.odata.org/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Employees
(try it in a web browser)

into the above test output.

Question to Francisco: does ObjectiveC have similar high level ATOM feeds consuming libraries and tools to generate strongly typed client APIs? (I should have I guess...)

Thank you.

P.S.

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Data.Services.Client;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    public class DataModelProxy : DataServiceContext
    {
        public DataModelProxy(Uri serviceRoot) : base(serviceRoot) {}

        public IQueryable<dynamic> EmployeesList
        {
            get { return CreateQuery<dynamic>("Employees"); }
        }

        public IQueryable<ConsoleApplication1.TestService.Employee> StronglyTypedEmployeesList
        {
            get { return CreateQuery<ConsoleApplication1.TestService.Employee>("Employees"); }
        }
    }

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var proxy = new DataModelProxy(new Uri(@"http://services.odata.org/Northwind/Northwind.svc/"));

            //var employees = from e in proxy.EmployeesList select e;
            var employees = from e in proxy.StronglyTypedEmployeesList where e.Title.StartsWith("Sales") orderby e.LastName select e;

            foreach (var e in employees)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("{0}. {1} {2} - {3}", e.EmployeeID, e.LastName, e.FirstName, e.Title);
            }
        }
    }
}
