A note to SData ATOM+xml users

If you are intimately aware of the ATOM+xml format of SData as described in the SData 1.x standard, you will have noticed that some ATOM mandated elements are not present in the JSON objects of this document. The reason is that these are meaningful in a syndication context but have little relevance in the general SData application. The elements omitted are:

• Envelope markup : no longer needed due to representation as a JSON object
• Envelope markup : no longer needed due to representation as a JSON object
• <id> : information is carried by the $url element
• <link rel=’self’> : information is carried by the $url element
• <author>
• <category>
