Table Service API

The Table service offers structured storage in the form of tables. The Table service API is a REST API for working with tables and the data that they contain.

The Table service API is compliant with the REST API provided by ADO.NET Data Services, with some differences. The Table service API restricts some functionality that is defined in the ADO.NET Data Services Framework. The API also provides some additional functionality that is not available through ADO.NET Data Services. The topics in this section describe where the Table service differs from ADO.NET Data Services. Where the Table service conforms to the Framework specification, you will be directed to the ADO.NET Data Services documentation.

For an overview of the differences between the Table service and the ADO.NET Data Services Framework, see Summary of Table Service Functionality.

The.NET Client Library for ADO.NET Data Services provides a convenient library for working with data in the Table service by using .NET objects. For more information about the client library, see Using the .NET Client Library with the Table Service.
