Open Data Protocol

The open data protocol is a web protocol for querying and updating data.OData does this by applying and building upon web technologies such as HTTP Atom publishing Protocol (AtomPub) JSON to provide access to information from variety of applications,services and stores. OData being used to access information from different sources like Relational Data base File Systems Content management systems Traditional  web sites OData is consistent with the way the Web Works.This Commitment to core Web Principles allow Odata enable a new level of data integration and interoperability across the broad range of clients,server, services and tools. OData provides the uniform way to expose,structure,query and manipulate data using REST practices and JSON or ATOM.OData also provides a way to reprasent metadata about the data,allowing computers to know more about the type system,relationships and structure of the data.

The main issue with const is that it's evaluated at compile-time, which means if it's changed at a later date; you have to not only recompile that application, but all applications that reference that application. In contrast, read -only is evaluated at run-time providing you a lot more flexibility. An overview of differences between const and read-only in c#      Const Read only Cont be static Can be either instance-level or static Value is evaluated at compile time The value is evaluated at run time. It is initialized at declaration only It can be initialized in declaration or by code in the code constructor .therefore read only fields have difference values depending on constructor used.   So, const should really only be used for logical, real-world constants such as days of week, numeric Constants, etc. as for as perfo...
