ODATA $format=json output

Data Abstract
1

Thought I’d take a look at the output of $format=json for a few reasons and the url’s it creates seem odd to me. I don’t have much experience with it so I’ll defer to others as to whether this is normal looking in that format. In either the Delphi or .NET DataAbstract Sample Server try this:

http://localhost:8099/odata/Orders?$filter=OrderId%20gt%201201&$format=json

I get odd looking “uri” values like this:

http://localhost:8099/odata/Orders(1202)

Is that right? Is it some kind of strange json escape sequence method or something?

This is with the latest Winter release in case this isn’t the way it should look.

Thank you,
Ron

Hello,

A JSON string is a sequence of zero or more Unicode characters, wrapped in double quotes, using backslash escapes.
It can have any Unicode character except " or \ or control characters:
"
\
/
\b
\f
\n
\r
\t
\u
Please read about it in http://json.org/

Thank you. Thought it smelled a little like an escape sequence but wanted to be sure.
