Disclaimer: This repository is part of a university project paper with the title Feasibility of an OData Interface on a NoSQL database using the example of a MongoDB. If interested, you can contact me and I will provide you with the complete documentation of my research.

Also checkout the other respository linked to the research: https://github.com/memmelma/MongOData_NodeJS

Clone this repo and open it with Visual Studio 15 Enterprise or higher:

git clone https://github.com/memmelma/MongOData_Csharp.git

It is also required to install a mongoDb instance and provide the connection information (collection name, database name, connection url) in the controller classes. Information regarding the installation and setup process of the mongoDB can be found here: https://www.mongodb.com/

Attempt to implement an OData interface on a MongoDB using the Entity Framework. Due to a lack of support, the solution is currently not working properly and therefore can be ignored!

Attempt to implement an OData interface on a MongoDB using the C# and .NET MongoDB Driver provided by MongoDB Inc. under http://mongodb.github.io/mongo-csharp-driver/2.2/getting_started/installation/ .

In this solution two attempts are made with one lacking performance (currently reading the whole mongoDb collection instead of applying the query correctly) and with the other missing functionality (failing to apply the query and always materializing the whole collection with completely ignoring filters and such).

All packages are available via NuGet.

Version: v7.4.3 Classes to serialize, deserialize and validate OData JSON payloads. Supports OData v4 only. Enables construction of OData services and clients.

Version: v5.6.0 Classes to represent, construct, parse, serialize and validate entity data models. Supports OData v4 only.
