Introduction to the CdsRestDataProvider Module

The CdsRestDataProvider module provides a data provider API for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Common Data Service REST services. The CdsRestDataProvider class allows for introspecting a Microsoft Common Data Service application instance (such as Dynamics 365, for example), while the CdsEntityDataProvider class supports the data provider record-based API for querying and manipulating entity data in the application.

CDS instances can be introspected with the following format:

• REST operation path: uri_path
  • ex: account
  • results in a CdsEntityDataProvider object where record operations supported on the object can be executed

The following classes are provided by this module:

• CdsRestDataProvider
• CdsRestDataProviderFactory
• CdsEntityDataProvider
• CdsRestRecordIterator
