10. Why REST?
Representational State Transfer (REST) is a software architecture style consisting of guidelines and best practices for creating scalable web services.
REST is popular and easy to use
Easier to use than SOAP and WSDL-based web services
Much easier to call from JavaScript and jQuery
Results come back in JSON or ATOM format
REST is stateless
REST is cacheable

11. Why Odata?
OData standardizes data access APIs for CRUD operations by mapping them to HTTP verbs
Read operations mapped to HTTP GET
Insert operations mapped to HTTP POST
Update operations mapped to HTTP PUT or HTTP MERGE
Delete operations mapped to HTTP DELETE

12. URI Construction
URI = [Service Root] + [Resource Path] + [Query Options]
In Testing')/Items?$select=AppName,Created
Service Root =
Resource Path = /web/lists/getByTitle('Apps In Testing')/Items
Query Options = ?$select=AppName,Created
Note that, in SharePoint, “_vti_bin/client.svc” can be replaced with _api
