> OData allows the application to describe exactly what they need including things like filtering .. I hear this frequently. I have _never_ faced the need to have complex set of capabilities (OData) promising to solve a problem that I do not have. I simply craft my APIs very well. Did you find twilio, stripe, fb.. use OData out in the open? When you offer the real choice to API developer, API consumer and they naturally gravitate to OData, then we're talking. You think developers within SAP ecosystem get choice? Its shoved down their throat. And this is why I believe SAP Graph team is not really serious about "zero SAP knowledge required" crowd.
