title: What is the advantage of using OData with Web API?
body: <p>I am already using the standard WebAPI and returning JSON objects to my client. Now I saw an application that returned OData. </p>
  
  <p>Can someone explain if there is any reason for me to use OData if I do not want to query my data from anything other than my own client running in the browser. Are there advantages that I could get through using OData ?</p>
