Is it really possible to build web APIs with OData support using ASP.NET Core without using an Entity Data Model (EDM) #180

Apparently is it...although it seems some features don't work...? for example i couldn't get paging to work

@darraghjones the latest ASP.NET Core 7.x and 8.x support the Web APIs without using EDM. Please try and let us know any problems. Thanks.

Thanks for your comment @xuzhg. However, perhaps my question wasn't really clear. The point i was making is that without defining an EDM, the reponse doesn't appear to confirm to the odata 'spec'. i.e. there's no enevelope with an @odata.context attribute for example like there is here: https://services.odata.org/v4/TripPinServiceRW/People

I appreciate I have the abilty to use the odata query syntax in the URL by adding the [EnableQuery] attribute, but I'm not sure if this is sufficent to declare these APIs are being 'Odata'. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts, thanks.
