I have a project to expose Entity Framework data via a web service. I am wondering should I use OData or write my own WCF services? It seems that OData is dead. Am I right?
The WCF Data Services team has just recently published a new WCF Data Services v5.1.0 (RC) release....
I don't see any signs of a demise here, really.... read their team blog! They've even announced to be releasing more frequently in the future!
Doesn't sound anything like dead to me...
Basically, OData / WCF Data Services is the fastest way to publish an Entity Framework data model to the web. If it's good enough for you, if it covers all your needs - then by all means - USE IT!
