Firstly congratulations on what looks like a promising library.

Now that Web API is getting Odata support, will there still be a need in the future to always use Breeze.WebApi.dll on the server? or to put it another way will the Breeze client work with any Odata source?

If Breeze.WebApi.dll is required on the server will that also support the Odata spec? Allowing non breeze client’s to access the server API via Odata.

Thanks
Chris

If you are using OData you do not need the Breeze.WebApi dll on the server. Two caveats for now.
1) Currently Breeze only supports reading OData feed ( no saves yet); they are coming but just not yet.
2) We have extended the OData syntax in a couple of areas to support nested projections and named server side queries. Queries that use this syntax will only work with the WebApi provider. This is because OData itself simply doesn't support these operations.
