Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Created: (ODATA-587) Add example for complex value that is an empty object
Add example for complex value that is an empty object
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: ODATA-587
URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-587
Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: OData JSON Format
Affects Versions: V4.0_CS02
Environment: [Proposed]
Reporter: Ralf Handl
Priority: Minor
Fix For: V4.0_ERRATA01
In some cases a complex value can be an empty object, e.g. if a complex type only contains navigation properties, or only its navigation properties are specified in $select, and the response format is minimal JSON:
- 7.2: A complex value is represented as a single JSON object containing one name/value pair for each property that makes up the complex type.
- 8.1: The navigation link for a navigation property is only represented if the client requests odata.metadata=full or the navigation link cannot be computed[...]
So it clearly is a JSON object with zero name-value pairs (one for each property = zero, one for each non-computable navigation = zero), but it is somewhat hard to deduce this from the specification text. An explicit statement and/or example would help.
