I am working in ODATA Service in .net. I heard that the ODATA service returns both ATOM XML and JSON. I am not sure about ATOM XML.
Can someone please explain what ATOM XML is with an example?
Atom is an XML-based file format used to syndicate content. Developed as an alternative to RSS 2.0, it lies within an XML-namespace. An example of an Atom 1.0 feed is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
<title>Example Feed</title>
<subtitle>A subtitle.</subtitle>
<link href="http://example.org/feed/" rel="self" />
<link href="http://example.org/" />
